Abstract
The results of satellite monitoring of the transatlantic transport of water vapor in the atmosphere from the western coast of Africa to the Gulf of Mexico are presented. Using the data of the DMSP, EOS Aqua, GCOM-W1 satellite microwave radiometer measurements, the zones with high concentrations of water vapor in the air over the tropical Atlantic are identified, and the dynamics of their movement towards the Gulf of Mexico in the periods preceding the initiation of hurricanes Bret (1999), Lorenzo (2007), Katia (2017) in the gulf is analyzed. The connection of the atmospheric water vapor transport over the tropical Atlantic to the cyclogenesis in the Gulf of Mexico is discussed.
