This month we are collaborating with NASA on their field campaign called Hurricane Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) in conjunction with our field program. The first flight of their field campaign is today! Their Global Hawk will take off from Dryden, CA at 1900 UTC (3PM Eastern) and land approximately 24 hours later in Wallops Island, […]
HRD researchers and our IFEX partners discussed the results from the 10 P-3 and 6 G-IV missions into Hurricane Isaac. The agenda for the discussion (#-presenter/s) was: Overview (1-S. Murillo) P-3 TDR and G-IV missions (2-R. Rogers, 3-J. Dunion/P. Reasor, 4-F. Marks/K. Sellwood) Science questions (LPS will lead) TDR analysis (science, software glitches, coordination with AOC […]
OPERATIONS Thursday, Aug 30, 2012 NOAA42: Is flying a post-storm ocean survey research flight in the Gulf of America. They took off at 1200 UTC from MacDill AFB and will recover nine hours later at MacDill AFB. NOAA42 is sampling the ocean after Hurricane Isaac’s passage and launching ocean measuring expendable instruments such as (AXCPS, AXBTs and AXCTDs). Three UM/RSMAS […]

NOAA42 is currently flying over the Gulf of America to survey the sea-state after Hurricane Isaac’s passage. They took off at 1200 UTC (8AM) from MacDill AFB and will land back there 9 hours later. NOAA42 will drop ocean measuring expendable instruments such as (AXCPS, AXBTs and AXCTDs). Here’s today’s flight pattern drawn. The red line represents Hurricane […]
Here are some pictures from the NOAA42 missions into Hurricane Isaac, 27-28 August 2012.
As Hurricane Isaac made landfall in Louisiana near the Mississippi Delta (outlined in black along the top of the images) 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 Hurricane Isaac sampled from the […]
