The Hurricane Rainband and Intensity Change Experiment (RAINEX) is a project to improve hurricane intensity forecasting via measuring interactions between rainbands and the eyewalls of tropical cyclones. The experiment was planned for the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. This coincidence of RAINEX with the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season led to the study and exploration of infamous hurricanes Katrina, Ophelia, and Rita. Where Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita would go on to cause major damage to the US Gulf coast, Hurricane Ophelia provided an interesting contrast to these powerful cyclones as it never developed greater than a category 1.

dbo:abstract
  • L’expérience RAINEX (Hurricane Rainband and Intensity Change Experiment) est une série de prises de données in situ de plusieurs ouragans visant à améliorer la prévision de leur intensité en mesurant les interactions entre les bandes de précipitations et les parois du mur de l'œil de ces cyclones tropicaux. RAINEX était une collaboration entre l'université de Miami (UM), l'école Rosenstiel de la science marine et atmosphérique (RSMAS), l'université de Washington, la NOAA et la Marine américaine. L'expérience fut planifiée pour la saison cyclonique 2005 dans l'océan Atlantique nord qui se montra particulièrement active. Les ouragans Katrina, Ophelia et Rita purent ainsi faire partie de l'étude. Alors que Katrina et Rita furent des ouragans puissants de catégorie 5 qui causèrent des dommages importants à la côte du golfe du Mexique, Ophelia fournit un contraste intéressant car il n'a jamais dépassé le stade de catégorie 1 de l'échelle de Saffir-Simpson.

The RAINEX project was a collaboration between the University of Miami (UM), Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS), The University of Washington, Department of Atmospheric Sciences, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the US Navy, Office of Naval Research. The objective of the research was to study the mechanism by which hurricane eyewall replacement cycle occurs. Luckily for the sake of the research, one such case of eyewall replacement occurred during the study of Hurricane Rita. In tropical cyclones maximum wind speed of the storm, which occurs at the eyewall, is a primary indicator of its overall strength which is important in predicting overall intensity. Just beyond this eyewall is a moat which separates the inner rainbands (eventually the outer eyewall) from the (inner) eyewall. Better understanding the dynamics of this region before, and during eyewall replacement could aid in better intensity predictions. (en)
