Flying into a Hurricane: First-Hand Account

Shirley Murillo, a former SOARS Protégé, is a research meteorologist at the NOAA Hurricane Research Division in Miami, FL, and an expert on the behavior of hurricanes when they reach landfall. Murillo specializes in examining how hurricane wind fields change as they approach land, and as part of her job, she gets to fly directly into the storms she studies. Read her first-hand account here.

The mission of SOARS® is to broaden participation in the atmospheric and related sciences by engaging students from groups historically underrepresented in science and preparing them to succeed in graduate school. These groups include Black or African-American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latino, female, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities. SOARS welcomes lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students.
