Unmaned Aerosonde Braves Hurricane Winds
The aerosonde will make continuous observation of the temperature, moisture, and wind structure of the near-surface hurricane environment providing real-time detailed observations to NOAA forecasters. Aerosonde and its sophisticated instruments will try to detect signals of rapid intensity changes in the hurricane. Enhancing this predictive capability would not only save our economy billions of dollars, but more importantly, it would save countless lives.

This animation illustrates the Aerosonde, and unmanned aircraft system, flying into a hurricane.    This animation illustrates the Aerosonde, and unmanned aircraft system, flying into a hurricane.
