In this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s episode:<\/p>\n

Hours to Minutes:<\/strong> Researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research<\/font><\/strong><\/a> (NCAR) have developed a way to use Doppler radar data to monitor changes in hurricane strength like\"Hurricane\" never before. Prior to their technique<\/font><\/strong><\/a>, hurricane central pressure readings had to wait for flight reports available only every several hours. Now in testing at the National Hurricane Center, the new method can interpret pressure trends every six minutes. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll talk with Dr. Wen-Chau Lee and Michael Bell from NCAR;<\/p>\n

\"NOAABig Changes At NHC:<\/strong> National Hurricane Center Director Bill Proenza<\/font><\/strong><\/a> was removed from his position on Monday, July 9 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Mr. Proenza had been making news for several months for being critical of some decisions made by NOAA. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll talk about the controversy and hear from some Emergency Managers;<\/p>\n
