Hurricane Video - The NASA 2008 Hurricane Season Video

The 2008 hurricane season is over, but not forgotten. The intense storms and record-breaking events of the 2008 season were unique. In contrast, the 2009 season has been fairly quiet. Why the difference? In 2008, lingering La Nina effects were in place as well as abnormally high ocean temperatures which are required for hurricane formation.

To summarize the 2008 hurricane season, NASA has produced a video in cooperation with NOAA to show satellite imagery of all the tropical storms from Arthur to Paloma. You may also want to check out the 2008 hurricane tracking chart. Or start tracking the 2009 season yourself with a blank hurricane tracking chart. All the resources are below.
