Three suspected drug dealers were on Thursday night arrested by an elite police unit in Nairobi's Runda estate and 14 kilogrammes of narcotics drugs worth an estimated Sh50 million recovered from them.
The suspects, one woman only identified as Monica and two foreigners of West African origin were arrested in a palatial house along Runda estate's Pan African Insurance Lane shortly after 11pm and whisked away to Muthaiga police station where they are being held as they await being arraigned in court.
Officer from the Special Crime Prevention Unit scaled the ten foot wall with an electric fence and razor wire before storming into the house in which the suspects were.
The officers ransacked all the rooms and arrested the suspects who had just arrived from Tanzania. They discovered 14 sachets of drugs weighing approximately one kilogram each hidden in a false bottom of a Suzuki Vitara vehicle.
According to the Special Crime Prevention Unit boss, Said Kiprotich, his team of detectives acted on a tip off that suspected drug dealers had entered the country.
"During an operation conducted by detectives at a residence along Pan African Insurance lane in Runda estate, we recovered a stash of suspected narcotic drugs in a false bottom on the floorboard of a Suzuki Vitara car. Three suspects, a Kenyan woman, a Guinean and a national of Ivory Coast were arrested and are scheduled to appear in court as soon as the drugs are tested and weighed," Kiprotich said.
He said that the drugs were to be repackaged in Kenya and destined for Europe particularly Britain where they would fetch high prices.Initial reports indicate that the Kenyan woman had flown to Tanzania to meet three other suspects with whom she shared a consignment of over 100 kgs of the narcotics before flying back to Kenya on Thursday afternoon.
Her accomplices traveled by road from Tanzania though Namanga border post and drove to the Runda residence where they were tracked and arrested. The woman was tracked by police officers from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to the Runda house where they also found the other suspects.
Yesterday morning, the seized drugs were weighed and tested by officials from the Government Chemist at the the Criminal Investigations Department headquarters in the presence of the suspects and confirmed to be heroin. Detectives said one packet suspected to be cocaine would need more analysis.
The Anti Narcotics Unit boss Hamisi Masa yesterday said that the drugs had been confirmed had been tested and confirmed to be narcotics but more analysis would be done to determine the quality.
The woman suspect is married to a Nigerian national who was expelled from Kenya some time back because of his alleged involvement in drug trafficking.

"All that Lenin learned about business was from the tales of
his comrades... that it required a lot of scribbling, recording, and
ciphering. Thus, he declares [in his
most popular essay, State and
Revolution] that 'accounting and control' are the chief things necessary
for the organizing and correct functioning of society.
"But 'accounting and control,' he goes on saying, 'have
already been simplified by capitalism by the utmost, until they have become the
extraordinarily simple operations of watching, recording, and issuing of
receipts. This is within the reach of
anybody who can read and write and knows the first four rules of arithmetic.'
"Here we have the philosophy of the filing clerk in its full
"If you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. You didn't get
there on your own. I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be
because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there.
It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you
something -- there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There
was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this
unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody
invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that.
Somebody else made that happen."
"I don't think anyone could have said what he said ['If you've got a
business you didn't build that'] who had actually started a business or been in
a business. And my own view is that what the president said was both startling
and revealing.
I find it extraordinary that a philosophy of that nature would be spoken by
a president of the United States. It goes to something I've spoken about from
the beginning of the campaign, that this
election is to a great degree about the soul of America.
Do we believe in
an America that is great because of government, or do we believe in an America
that's great because of free people allowed to pursue their dreams and build
their future?
I'm convinced he wants Americans to be
ashamed of success. I want Americans to welcome and to celebrate success
and to encourage people to reach as high as they can -- and, in some cases, to
build enterprises.
I don't want government to take credit for what the
individuals of America accomplish. Whether they work in government or work in
the private sector, it's the people of America that make America the unique
nation, the exceptional nation that it is!
I want to encourage economic freedom. Our economy is driven by free people
pursuing their ideas and their dreams. It is not driven by government. And what
the president is doing is crushing economic freedom.
In the past people of both parties understood that encouraging achievement,
encouraging success, encouraging people to lift themselves as high as they can,
encouraging entrepreneurs, celebrating success instead of attacking it and
denigrating it makes America strong.
That's the right course for this country! His course is extraordinarily foreign!

Photo Essay: A Busy Disney Day
One of the things that I am constantly trying to improve upon in my photography is the concept of being able to tell a story without having to write a long and bloated caption or paragraph that accompanies it. If you follow me on Flickr, you'll see that I've cut back significantly on my captions, and in many of them simply suggesting that you have a great day as opposed to what the photo is about. One great way to practice this is to come up with little photo essays. With a photo essay, you don't have to tell your entire story with one image, you can branch it out over several images. So, for example, here is a short photo essay, A Busy Disney Day.
So, for the sake or learning, I'd like to completely contradict my above paragraph and break down the images displayed here and why I included them in this essay. The first image is there to show just how many people were in the park. That image is very accessible to anyone, even a non-Disney person. They can tell that this place is full of people. The second one doesn't really make sense unless you understand the fact that the Swiss Family Treehouse never has a wait longer than "how fast you can walk through". The third image shows a queue of people waiting for an attraction to reopen after going down for technical difficulties. The fourth shows makeshift queues because the regular space for people to wait in line was filled to the max this particular day. Finally, the last image showcases the day of a Cast Member who basically turns himself into the attraction entrance with just a little flag.
These might not be photos that you would take if you were on a 'once every three years' type Disney vacation. But, if you frequent the parks, finding one common thread across a park and using it to tell a story is a pretty fun way to shake things up. And besides, you can always apply anything photography related that you would do in a Disney park to photography anywhere else, whether you live in a big city, the country, suburbia, etc. Give it a try sometime!

Contrary to speculations that the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has been discharged from Wiesbaden Hospital in Germany where she is receiving treatment, the hospital has confirmed that the ailing wife of President Goodluck Jonathan is still on admission.
A source at the hospital disclosed this during a telephone chat with our foreign correspondent at the weekend.
The source added that Mrs. Jonathan is still recuperating in the hospital and she is yet to be discharged as speculated by some newspapers.
The source further stated that it was the security aides attached to Mrs Jonathan that were actually asked to leave the hospital premises and move to a hotel in order to ensure that further information was not leaked to the press.
Yesterday, there were rumous in the media that Patience Jonathan was being discharged from the hospital and anonymous text messages were sent to some people that her apartment at the presidential villa had been prepared for her imminent return.

Location was great. Just blocks from downtown. Shuttle service was very handy. Easy access to lifts and slopes, just out the back door. Staff at hotel were very nice and equipment rental folks were helpful. There for two days and longer would have been even better and will stay with them again. Met all our expectations.
No unpleasant issues.
You can step out and be on the Peak 9 lifts in minutes. You are 5-10 min walk to Main St/Park which has lots of nice places. In addition, theres a free shuttle to town, which we used to go to an amazing restaurant and then called and were picked up within minutes!
The suite interior was nice, with a fireplace and everything we needed to cook
There is a 1970's vibe going on in the lodge I didn't expect to be an annoyance to me...but being just an average skier, and with the price of a 1bd suite approaching Four Seasons prices, I really expected a lot more.
The rooms were nice quality, beds were comfy by hotel standards, and it was a good location with good views.
With only a couple of exceptions, most of the staff was rude and didn't seem to really care about their guests.
If you stay at the 7th floor and up, you need to take a long walk to the elevator, take it up to the 6th floor, walk again to the other side of the hotel, take a second elevator to your floor and walk again to your room. I don't consider such a journey to my room as "luxury".
Super friendly staff. Nice spacious rooms. Just steps from the Snowflake lift.
Parking was a bit tight, but this was minor. Overall a great stay. I will be back.
Located next to a ski lift with immediate access to Breckenridge. Located within walking distance to down town.
This hotel isn't on the mountain but they make up for it with a free shuttle that they run from 8am until 12 midnight. Is all you have to do is walk to the lobby and tell them where you wanna go and they'll take you anywhere. When you're done just use the number the driver gives you and he'll pick you up. We checked out before we went skiing and they had no problem letting us leave our car and taking us to and from the mountain.
They also have an awesome restaurant downstairs that should definitely be checked out if you stay there.
The room was really cool. You can tell the hotel has old bones, but it has modern upgrades which make it really enjoyable. Beds were great, balcony was awesome to drink a cup of coffee on and watch the sunrise. Really cool hotel and probably the best value in Breck.
I wish the breakfast was better. They had cereal, yogurt and a waffle maker. For a day that I'm going to be on the mountain all day I would like to have some hot food, at least scrambled eggs and some meat.
The staff was extremely friendly, but there needed to be more of them! The front desk never answered the phone, because they were either taking bags to rooms or running other errands for guests.
Old style charm. Loved being out of busy town, with easy shuttle access when needed.
Paid for a large room w/mountain view, got a small room w/ just an OK view. Lots of rooms have great rooms, I just wasn't given one of them. Since I paid for it, I felt I should have received a discount since I didn't receive one.
When checking out another couple was given opportunity to select a room, wish they would have given me that opportunity.
Restaurant needs a lot of work! Slow, slow, slow, and mediocre.
Gym under repair. Windows wouldn't open, no fan and no wipes to clean machines.
The location.
Our bed was horrible. Outside hot tubs were small and the Jets didn't work on one of them. Our shower leaked on the floor and the sink in the bathroom was all chipped up. The decor was very dated. Carpet looked stained. The free DVD machine didn't work.
The staff was very friendly, hotel/room clean, and the view was awesome (we had moose and deer walk by the our window daily). Location was perfect for walking to town for shopping and dinning.
The parking was a little odd, having to walk to another facility to park. But a minor inconvenience.
This is an older hotel that has been updated, but not recently. The decor looks to be about ten years old. But it was clean and had new linens.
The location of the hotel is second to none. It is an easy one minute walk to the base of Peak 9, and a three minute walk to Main Street's shops and restaurants. Additionally, there is a shuttle stop just outside the front door.
The bathrooms are very small. So small, that you must step into the bathtub or squeeze into the six inches next to the toilet in order to close the bathroom door. Additionally, the entire hotel runs out of hot water during what the hotel's engineer called the "shower hour", which was around 4-5pm when many skiers came back to the hotel after a day of skiing.
Quick check-in, hot tubs, pool, location
Noise. Had a baby with us and the way the halls are designed put a door for another room by our wall. No room service. Forced valet parking.
Unit was very spacious. It was nice to have separate bedrooms, bathrooms and a kitchen.
Older fixtures and furniture in unit.
Location was great. Spacious 48 steps up was the sacrifice.
Comforters needed to be updated also the sheets.
Perfect ski condos. Location and amenities are ideal for a family ski property. Walking distance to main street, lifts, restaurants etc. Well maintained facilities.
Have to go outside or wak through parking garage to get to front desk, fitness facility, hot tubs, etc. No big deal. Just would be nice to have some sort of connection.

Web browsers work just fine with various newline conventions, because that
is the way web browsers are programmed. That has nothing to do with how
the server is supposed to deliver the data.

Netscape does NOT do any translation. That was the point of my anecdote
quoted below.
IE _does_ do translation, and while it solves problems for users, it does
so by masking the screwups of the server administrators.

A properly configured web server running on a *nix environment, when
confronted with a "text" file on disk that has CRLFs, is supposed to
transmit CRCRLFs, because it is supposed to translate the native newlines
(LF) to the on-the-wire newlines (CRLF).

The client is allowed to _expect_ that "text" files transmitted to it have
CRLFs as newline separators. Any other sequence (LF or CR) _may_ be
misinterpreted by the client. The fact that most clients can handle
various alternatives is sugar coating that saves lazy administrator's
"Text" files have type "text/*" in the ContentType header. If the server
is serving up a file (in response to a GET) that it has determined to be
some variant of "text" file, it is expected to make sure the line
separators are CRLF at a minimum, and the client is expected to be able
to handle that.
Similarly, if the client is serving up a "text" file, it is responsible to
tell the server that in a ContentType header, and to normalize the line
separators. Likewise, the server is supposed to recognize the ContentType
header and denormalize the line separators (CRLF to LF) as appropriate.

I am puzzled... this is a non-issue for that operating
environment. On-the-wire is no different from their on-the-disk format.
The Mac and Unix clients would be the ones to be concerned about.

I am boggled. Are you sure it isn't a client-side misconfiguration? The
client software has to be able to tell the difference between a text file
and a binary file somehow. On a Mac, this is easy. On *nix, may have to
depend on file extensions, but you don't seem to be.
> It seems the "best solution" is to see if this can be added to Dav.
It must be in both the server and the clients, and the software at both
ends has to be configured to distinguish text and binary files.... but
MIME-type magic is pretty widespread... I thought the bad old days of ftp
servers that had to be told the transfer type for each session were behind

To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must be classified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence – community, classroom, character and competition. The finalists were chosen by a media committee from the list of 20 candidates announced in November. Nationwide fan voting begins immediately to help select the winner. Fans are encouraged to vote on the Senior CLASS Award website or on the Senior CLASS Award Facebook fan page through March 25. Fan votes will be combined with media and Division I head coaches' votes to determine the winner. The Senior CLASS Award winner will be announced during the 2013 NCAA Frozen Four® in Pittsburgh on April 11 and 13. Nunn has played in 98 career games with 33 goals and 28 assists for 61 points. Nunn has also been strong in the classroom as he has a 3.67 total grade point average as an Economics major and has earned Atlantic Hockey All-Academic team honors every season. He is a member of Alpha Sigma Nu, a Jesuit honor society in which only 4% of the class is selected that honors students who embody the Jesuit values of Scholarship, Loyalty, Leadership and Service. He also works with the school's Endowment Fund. Nunn started Power Play Points For Pink in which all home power play goals raise money through pledges from the community. The money pledged benefits PINK Revolution. This season the program has raised over $10,000 so far. For more information and to donate go here: http://www.powerplaypointsforpink.com/. Nunn has also took part in Crusaders for Kids, a big brother type of program set up by the players to bring inner city kids to other sporting events on campus as well as in the community.

Ginn then tallied 36 saves and allowed only one goal for a .973 save percentage in the 3-1 victory at Clarkson on Oct. 20. Ginn, who was named the HCA's National Rookie of the Month for February last year, was named the Atlantic Hockey Rookie of the Week three times, Rookie of the Month twice and Goalie of the Week once. He went 17-8-2 as his 17 wins were tied for second on the school's Division I single-season list. His 629 saves were sixth all-time for a Division I season, while his 2.42 goals against average was fourth.

press release
Cairo: — The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information, ANHRI, expressed its annoyance concerning the ongoing attacks on media freedoms by the Egyptian authorities, particularly after arresting Ahmed El-Swefi, a journalist of Al-Ahram newspaper and head of Cairo office of the Iranian channel "Al-Alam", without clear reasons.
Security forces of the National Security as well as the different security bodies stormed the house of journalist Ahmed El-Swefi in Mohandesin on Thursday. The forces had inspected the house and arrested the journalist in addition to detaining him in an unknown place without mentioning any reasons.
ANHRI deprecated the detention of the journalist for more than 12 hours by the Egyptian police without remitting him to the General Prosecution or facing him with any charges.
This incident isn't the first of its kind, as journalists are being targeted constantly against the backdrop of their work. Last July, El-Swefi was arrested and convicted of managing an unlicensed channel at the purpose of providing the media services to the Iranian channel of "Al-Alam" and the broadcast services to other channels. The Prosecution decided to release him on bail.
ANHRI said that, "The era of the killer minister of interior, Habib Al-Adli, returns, as the security solutions inherited from Mubarak's police state waste the law and human rights. The fact of arresting journalist Ahmed El-Swefi at midnight came few days after torturing MBC Masr correspondent in Al-Minya. This refers to the significance of restructuring the ministry of interior and dismissing Gen. Mohamed Ibrahim. ANHRI calls upon the Egyptian authorities to reveal the fate of journalist Ahmed El-Swefi and announce the place of his detention in addition to the charges against him.

Time abroad will help you become more independent, give you insight into other cultures, offer the chance to develop new language skills and give your CV an international flavour, says Irena Jennings, a careers adviser at Imperial College London and head of a group that encourages graduates to consider time abroad. "Science most certainly is an international career," she says. "International contacts can be very useful too."
You'll also get the opportunity to meet other researchers and see how they work, says Beki Langford, who is conducting fieldwork in Nepal for her PhD. "It's not just experiencing a difference culture, which is valuable in itself, but also how research is dreamed up, implemented and evaluated in a different academic culture."
You may find an alternative research culture suits you better. That what's happened to Lisa Muller, who moved from her native Germany to the UK for a maths doctorate. Moving abroad gave her the status of a student, rather than employee as she would have been classed in the German system. This meant she could complete her PhD relatively fast, and she also enjoyed a certain degree of independence from her supervisor that she feels she would not have got back home. "I found the freedom and support that I gained totally worthwhile," she says.
Obvious cons include being away from friends and family and, if you're going to a non-English-speaking country, the difficulty of learning a new language. Also, if your supervisor is based back home, like Langford's, you get less valuable face-to-face time with them for guidance and support.
Money is also a concern, although don't believe everything you hear about living abroad, says Emma Dukes, who moved from Ireland to Finland to work as a researcher at the University of Helsinki. "Before you come out, you hear horror stories about how expensive it is here, but that's a myth. Rented accommodation, for example, is pretty cheap. It's worth checking details like that," she says.
Going abroad can also be difficult to organise. Langford's work involves working with mothers and children in a small community in Nepal, so she had to get permission from the local authorities there to carry out the project. "Visas, research permission and so on can be a real hassle unless you have a supervisor who has worked in the country before," she says.
Ultimately though, the rewards are worth the negatives, says Dukes. "I'm really happy. It's great to move to a lab in another country."

Real life: race engineer
Flick the TV over to the Grand Prix, and you'll hear the drivers following detailed instructions over their radios. Andrew Shovlin is the man at the other end of the line.
As chief race engineer for Jenson Button at the Honda Racing F1 team, Shovlin plays a vital trackside role in the world's most glamorous sport and has his conversations with Button broadcast to millions of fans. Usually he is too caught up in the race to worry about what he is saying. "I can get quite animated when we've done well, and it never occurs to me to hold back. I just say whatever pops into my head."
Shovlin is responsible for organising the car's set-up before the race, testing new parts and devising the race strategy. This requires him to develop trusting relationships with the drivers. Does he ever get star-struck? "It's funny, I know that Jenson is famous and gets recognised everywhere he goes, but he doesn't behave like a superstar within the team and never expects to be treated like one. Occasionally I have been lucky to get a lift back with him on a private jet, though, and it's moments like that when it dawns on you, you are living a fairly unusual life."
But it's not all glamour and adrenalin rushes. Shovlin spends the weeks between races at the test track, running simulations to improve the car. As such, he is a scientist at heart. "Many aspects of Formula 1 are often portrayed as a black art, but it's not, it's all about science - whether it's the engine, the aerodynamics or the suspension."
The science is pretty exciting too, as advances are always being made. For example, in recent years one of the most interesting has been the introduction of seamless-shift gearboxes, which allow drivers to change gear without losing any acceleration, Shovlin says.
So just how do you land a job like this? Shovlin has a degree in mechanical engineering and a PhD in vehicle dynamics and control, but he says some of his colleagues come from more traditional science backgrounds, so he advises anyone interested to look out for the student placement schemes now run by many teams. Blabbermouths need not apply.

Freedom Ride to Goodland: Bikers' event raises funds to help wounded veterans
Before the first Harley came in sight, they made their presence felt. Atop the State Road 92 bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway near Goodland, a low rumble grew to a roar as a tightly massed pack of motorcycles rounded the turn and downshifted to climb over the span.
Wearing leathers, military insignia, and veterans' patches or buttons on their denim vests and jackets, the riders gave thumbs up or the "V" sign as they neared the destination of their run. Over 200 motorcyclists joined the Freedom Ride from the Harley-Davidson dealership on Pine Ridge Road to Stan's seafood restaurant in Goodland on Sunday morning, raising funds to support wounded veterans and their families.
Prior to saddling up and heading out, the riders listened to speakers including John O'Keefe from the American Legion and ride organizer Alan Harris of Harley-Davidson extol the work of Fisher House, the beneficiary of the event, which provides accommodations so families of wounded soldiers can stay near them while the veterans undergo treatment. The Barron Collier High School JROTC provided an honor guard, plus student Blake Holloway delivering "Taps" as a trumpet solo, to honor fallen veterans.
In addition to the young cadets, a color guard from American Legion Post 135 and three serving Marines, resplendent in full-dress uniform, lent a martial air to the already star-spangled gathering at the dealership. As more and more motorcycles pulled up, adding their exhaust growl to the sound mix, the voice of Whitney Houston sang the National Anthem.
Harris spoke of the work of Fisher House, the charitable organization the Freedom Ride was raising funds to support. Operating in a similar fashion to Ronald McDonald House, the mission of Fisher House is to provide housing for families of wounded soldiers as they receive treatment at military or VA hospitals, allowing soldiers undergoing often lengthy and painful medical procedures and rehab to be close to their loved ones.
Lowell Jackson displayed a selection from his collection of over 200 military helmets, going back to the Napoleonic Wars, with Prussian helmets from World War I, Wehrmacht "coal scuttle" and paratroop helmets from World War II, along with US, British and Japanese headgear, and even a helmet from Saddam Hussein's Iraqi Revolutionary Guard.
"The patriotism of these bikers is outstanding," said Jackson. The Stars and Stripes were everywhere. Terry Young wore it on her vest.
"Every time we ride, representing our military, this vest comes out of the closet," she said. Patches on Bob Bodemann's vest proclaimed him a wounded Vietnam veteran, and promised those still missing in action, "We have your backs here at home."
Even many of the motorcycles sported the American flag or patriotic themes. Jack Fulmer's 1990 Soft-tail was emblazoned with a Marine Corps emblem, and the fuel tank featured a rippling flag and a screaming eagle.
At 10:30 on the beautiful, sunny morning, it was "kickstands up," and the riders headed out on their ride. On their way to Goodland, the bikes passed by the American Legion post on the East Trail, and Legionnaires gave them a flag salute.
While he didn't have a final tally from the event, treasurer Ron Mahon said that the ride raised well over $4,000 – "closer to five" – to add to the cause.

Warm ocean water depth encourages development of Northeast Pacific hurricanesJanuary 13th, 2014 in Earth / Environment
PNNL scientists discovered that the depth of warm ocean water plays a key role in the intensification of hurricanes in the Northeast tropical Pacific ocean, which bring precipitation to the U.S. Southwest and Mexico. Their work will improve predictions of these powerful storms. Shown is a satellite image of 2008's Hurricane Norbert, one of the strongest tropical cyclones to hit the Southwest Pacific coast. Enlarge Image. Credit: NASA.
(Phys.org) —Scientists have struggled to pinpoint the factors that control hurricane activity across years in the Northeast tropical Pacific. Previous studies focused mainly on the temperature at the water's surface as the key influence on developing hurricanes. The warmer the surface temperature, the more likely hurricanes intensified given the right atmospheric conditions. The Northeast Pacific, however, has some of the coldest water surface temperatures in the tropics yet places second around the world in the number of serious storms per year. Clearly, something else is at work. Now researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered that the year-to-year variability in the depth of warm ocean water plays an important role in brewing up a storm's intensity.
Predicting the timing and path of hurricanes in the Northeast tropical Pacific Ocean has always been tough. While the tracks of these storms rarely fall over land, their remnant moisture contributes to nearly 30 percent of the annual precipitation in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Climate models predict that these regions will experience more prolonged droughts in the future, making it important to be able to predict how Northeast tropical Pacific Ocean hurricanes and their contribution to precipitation may be changing.
Scientists analyzed 28 years of hurricane track observations (1984 to 2011) from the National Hurricane Center and the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center. They also looked at previous data and analyses from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction, Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts for that 28-year period in the same area.
"The depth of the warm water plays a critical role in determining upper-ocean heat content, which ultimately translates into a source of energy for hurricane intensification. Our study looked at the impact of year-to-year variability in the surface warm-water depth, but potential long-term changes in surface warm-water depth due to global warming could also be important." said Dr. Karthik Balaguru, the PNNL atmospheric researcher who led the scientific team. "Understanding ocean variability and changes will help us target improvements needed in climate models. The ultimate goal is improving projections of future hurricane activities."
Scientists are working to identify the factors responsible for maintaining warm upper ocean waters in the Northeastern tropical Pacific that influence hurricane intensity. They also hope to evaluate how models, particularly those used in seasonal hurricane forecasting, fare in simulating those factors and whether improvements are needed.
