Satellite data illustrates the heat signature of Hurricane Maria above warm surface water in 2017.NASAWhen a hurricane hits land, the destruction can be visible for years or even decades. Less obvious, but also powerful, is the effect hurricanes have on the oceans.
In a new study, we show through real-time measurements that hurricanes don’t...
