New images show ‘gravity waves’ rippling through the sky from Hurricane Helene
The graphic uses the colors red, yellow and red to show the change in radiance or brightness in the wavelength of light produced by atmospheric airflow on Earth, according to NASA. The most intense waves seen from Helene in the upper atmosphere can be found by looking for the redder the color viewed in the image.
Deadly Hurricane Helene Triggered Enormous "Gravity Waves" In Earth's Atmosphere
These shakes are known as gravity waves – which are not related to gravitational waves. The latter are formed by the literal rattle of space-time and you need huge detectors to measure them. Gravity waves instead form at the interface of two fluids or ...
NASA: Hurricane Helene produced 'enormous' gravity waves in upper atmosphere
A new technology developed by NASA to predict space weather showed that Hurricane Helene produced "enormous" waves in the Earth's upper atmosphere as it came ashore on Sept. 26, the agency says.
NASA Unveils Astonishing Gravity Waves Caused by Hurricane Helene
On September 26, 2024, NASA observed atmospheric gravity waves generated by Hurricane Helene over Florida. This data, captured by the AWE instrument aboard the ISS, helps explain the terrestrial impact on space weather,
Hurricane Helene’s landfall produced atmospheric waves seen 55 miles above Earth
When Hurricane Helene slammed into Florida with 140-mph winds, the impacts on the ground were deadly, and that power reverberated up into Earth’s atmosphere, creating ripples seen by a NASA instrument more than 55 miles above.
See it: Atmospheric waves created by Hurricane Helene's landfall in Florida
A NASA graphic uses data from the Atmospheric Waves Experiment, or AWE, on the International Space Station to show the swells in the atmosphere created by Hurricane Helene's September landfall in Florida.
NASA Says Hurricane Helene Also Impacted Earth’s Space Weather
Hurricane Helene was a devastating storm, ripping through Florida and the East Coast of the United States. NASA is now reporting that it also creates waves elsewhere, namely in the upper atmosphere around our planet.

‘Massive’ pulses from Helene towering 55 miles were recorded from space, NASA says
AWE recorded the waves Sept. 26 as Helene approached Florida’s Gulf Coast. The storm traveled north after landfall, and four ...
