Vaak zijn er ernstige overstromingen als gevolg van de torenhoge golven en zware stortregens.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Op hun weg over de warme oceaan verzamelen de orkanen heel veel energie en vochtigheid. Sommige wetenschappers denken dat er met het opwarmen van de Aarde misschien meer en nog sterkere orkanen zullen komen.<\/p>\n<p>Een belangrijke taak van satellieten is om van tevoren te waarschuwen voor orkanen, want dan kunnen de mensen zich op tijd uit de voeten maken. Verder geven ze wetenschappers informatie over wat er binnenin de spiraalvormige stormen gebeurt.<\/p>\n<p>In augustus en september van 2004 werd de Noordamerikaanse staat Florida tot vier keer toe getroffen door een orkaan. Met ESA\u2019s ERS-2 en Envisat is toen elke storm grondig bestudeerd.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"1121\" data-credit=\"ESA\/Brockmann Consult\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2004\/09\/MERIS_image_of_Frances_passing_near_Haiti2\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2004\/09\/meris_image_of_frances_passing_near_haiti2\/17896386-2-eng-GB\/MERIS_image_of_Frances_passing_near_Haiti.jpg\" alt=\"MERIS image of Frances passing near Haiti\"><\/figure>\n<p>Envisat levert gegevens op over de wolken die om het oog van de storm rondwervelen.
