One of NASA's most important missions is to develop an understanding of the total Earth system and study the effects of natural and human- induced changes on the global environment. To achieve these goals, NASA has developed satellites and ground programs which study and monitor hurricanes and other climatic events.  Check out NASA's Tropical Twisters which is part of it's Just For Kids Earth Science Enterprise.
