Hurricane Hunters: Flying Into the Eye of the Storm
Moving from ground-based to airborne storm chasing, this episode focuses on the elite NOAA and Air Force Hurricane Hunters who fly directly into tropical cyclones. We explore the specialized aircraft they use, the crucial data they collect, and how this information improves hurricane forecasting. The episode details the history of hurricane reconnaissance, the development of dropsondes technology, and the intense experience of penetrating a hurricane's eyewall.
