Abstract:
The Weather World 2010 project at the University of Illinois offers an
on-line investigation of Hurricane Andrew. This storm originated as a
tropical depression on August 16, 1992 and became a hurricane 6 days
later. Andrew reached landfall in Southern Florida on August 24. This
category 4 storm had a minimum central pressure of 922 mb with peak
wind gusts over 175 mph. Andrew then moved out over
... the Gulf of Mexico
and struck Louisiana on August 26. Overall, this hurricane was the
most expensive natural disaster in history. More than sixty fatalities
were reported with over 20 billion dollars in damage.
This investigation offers hourly surface weather products for both the
Continental and Southeastern United States from 0000 (UTC) August 24 to
2300 (UTC) August 27, 1992. All satellite imagery is available for
the same time period. The archived satellite images include visible
