Texas Tech Hurricane Research Team (TTUHRT)

All Things Tropical Cyclones 

Welcome to the homepage of the TTUHRT, which has been documenting wind flow characteristics of landfalling tropical cyclones since 1998. Currently, a fleet of 48 meteorological towers (dubbed StickNet) and 2 Ka-band mobile Doppler radar trucks are deployed by the TTUHRT to gather pertinent wind and thermodynamic measurements during land-falling tropical cyclones.

 

Our Mission: TTUHRT is dedicated to mitigating the effects of landfalling hurricanes on life and property.

 

A list of deployments conducted by the TTUHRT can be found under the Deployments and Safety tab, along with information about our instrument suite.
