As Tropical Storm Ingrid developed from Tropical Depression 10 (TD10) in the southern Bay of Campeche (the Mexican coast is visible as black line in bottom and left of the images) a NOAA G-IV mission collected airborne Doppler radar data to use in initializing and evaluating model guidance. Included here you see analyses of the horizontal […]
The NOAA43 aircraft is scheduled to fly a TC in Shear Experiment into Hurricane Ingrid at 1800 UTC (2PM Eastern) today. They are planning to coordinate their flight with NASA’s Global Hawk. NOAA43 will take off from MacDill AFB and recover in Corpus Christi, TX eight hours later. Below is the proposed flight pattern. The numbers on the figure […]

The G-IV Jet is scheduled to fly its third mission into Hurricane Ingrid. Take off for this eight-hour flight is scheduled for 1300 UTC (9AM Eastern) from MacDill AFB. The jet will fly concentric circles (see figure below). The numbers denote the GPS dropwindsonde launch locations as well as the turn points. The red dots in the figure show […]
The NOAA42 aircraft is scheduled to fly a Tail Doppler Radar Experiment into Hurricane Ingrid at 0600 UTC (2AM Eastern) this morning. This will be the second flight for NOAA42 and the sixth flight for all NOAA aircraft. They are planning to fly the pattern below to collect data. They will take off from MacDill AFB and recover eight […]
