Scientists now have the answer with new flight bumpiness measurement system /hurricane-scientists-make-bumpiness-measurement-system/ Wed, 02 Apr 2025 17:23:04 +0000 /?p=97895 Original article published by NOAA Research on March 31, 2025. Hurricane researchers know bumpy flights better than anyone else, but, after a particularly turbulent flight into Hurricane Ian, scientists were left wondering if it was the bumpiest flight on record aboard a NOAA WP-3D Orion hurricane hunter aircraft.  This question led scientists to develop a […]
