NASA | In Katrina's Wake

Hurricane Katrina in 2005 had a profound impact on both urban areas and regional forests, killing or damaging millions of trees. The storm's winds and rains affected soil and vegetation, turning forests from carbon sinks to carbon sources. The event sparked debates on climate change's role in hurricane frequency. NASA's advanced sensors provide detailed insights into storm dynamics, aiding in understanding hurricanes' complexity.

What are the differing views among scientists regarding the relationship between global warming and hurricane frequency?

How has NASA contributed to the understanding of hurricanes like Katrina?
