As Hurricane Sandy continued to move northward up the east coast east of the Carolinas (coast is visible as black line in left of image) a NOAA G-IV mission collected airborne Doppler radar data to use in initializing and evaluating model guidance in conjunction with a NOAA P-3 mission. A secondary objective of the mission was to […]
