How are scientists tracking Cyclone Alfred? theconversation.com/how-are-scie...

Sadly cyclones like Alfred are more likely because of ocean warming/climate change. (See Fig 1: Annual sea surface temperatures for the Australian region for 2024 were the warmest on record, and 0.89°C above the 1961–1990 average) www.climatecouncil.org.a…

Weather prediction has improved - I was amazed when the predicted hairpin turn of cyclone Alfred occured. The satellite tools for this are fantastic (& thanks Japan for the geostationary one) theconversation.com/how-are-scie...

RP @aunz.theconversation.com: Both geostationary and polar orbiting satellites collect data in the visible and infrared regions. There are polar satellites collecting data in the microwave range.
