The G-IV is scheduled to fly a synoptic surveillance mission this afternoon, with a takeoff time of 1730 UTC (1:30pm EDT) from MacDill AFB. The G-IV will be sampling the upper level low SW of Florida and doing a circumnavigation around Sandy. Here’s their track. The track is not exact and may shift as the storm moves. The […]

As Hurricane Sandy moved north through the Bahamas (outlined in black) NOAA P-3 missions collected airborne Doppler radar data to use in initializing and evaluating model guidance. Included here you see images of the horizontal winds within the inner core of Sandy sampled from the tail Doppler radar on the P-3 early on 25 October […]
The third mission into Hurricane Sandy will take off around 4pm Eastern 26 October. The plan is to gather Doppler radar and other data for assimilation into numerical models. The P3 will perform a modified rotated figure-4 pattern before returning to base around 8 h after takeoff.
The second mission into Hurricane Sandy took off around 4am Eastern 26 October. The plan is to gather Doppler radar and other data for assimilation into numerical models. The P3 will perform a rotated figure-4 pattern before returning to base around 8 h after takeoff.
