where do hurricanes go ?

to better understand dangerous storms, NASA compiled data from several satellites into a supercomputer simulation of 2017 hurricane season

specifically, the featured video shows how smoke (white), sea salt (blue), and dust (brown) tracked from 2017 august through october across the northern half of Earth's Western Hemisphere

these aerosols usefully trace sometimes invisible winds

in the midst of the many mesmerizing flows, hurricanes can be seen swirling across the Atlantic Ocean on the right

some of these hurricanes lashed islands and coastal regions in North America before dissipating in the northern Atlantic

studying yearly weather patterns may bolster more accurate storm forecasts
