The East Pacific Origins and Characteristics of Hurricanes (EPOCH) project was a joint NASA and NOAA campaign for training young scientists to develop skills that are needed for planning and executing a major airborne science field program. EPOCH was conducted as a part of the overall Hands-On Project Experience (HOPE) initiative.
The campaign’s primary objectives were to provide a better understanding of tropical cyclogenesis, the origins of tropical storms, and their evolution into hurricanes.
