On September 22-23, scientists with AOML’s Hurricane Research Division collected unique data from six Coyote UAS (uncrewed aircraft system) launched from NOAA’s P3 Hurricane Hunter aircraft into Hurricane Maria. The Coyote UAS gathered atmospheric, temperature, pressure, and moisture data in Maria’s eye and eyewall at altitudes as low as 300 feet above the ocean surface. The […]
OPERATIONS Tuesday, 26, Sept. 2017 NOAA42: The P3 was tasked by EMC to fly a Tail Doppler Radar mission into Hurricane Maria. Take off was around 1:00 AM ET (0500 UTC) from Lakeland Linder Regional Airport. No HRD scientists were on this flight. NOAA42: The P3 is tasked by EMC to fly a Tail Doppler Radar mission […]
Today we have three final flights into Hurricane Maria by both the P3 and G-IV hurricane hunter aircraft. The P3 (NOAA42) is currently flying in Hurricane Maria and gathering data that will help us understand how Hurricane Maria is developing. This flight took off at 1 AM ET (0500 UTC). Below is the planned flight […]
NOAA’s hurricane hunter aircraft continue to fly in and around Hurricane Maria. Both the P3 and the G-IV have double duty, flying every 12 hours. The P3 flew this morning and is back out there flying inside Maria. NOAA42 took off at 1 PM ET (1700 UTC). The jet flew early this morning with a take-off […]
OPERATIONS Monday, 25, Sept. 2017 NOAA42: The P3 was tasked by EMC to fly a Tail Doppler Radar mission into Hurricane Maria. Take off around 1:00 AM ET (0500 UTC) from Lakeland Linder Regional Airport in Lakeland, FL. No HRD scientists were on this flight. G-IV: The jet was tasked by NHC to fly a synoptic […]
Its another flight for the P3 as it continues to gather data in Hurricane Maria. Take off is scheduled for 1:00 AM ET (0500 UTC) from Lakeland, FL. This flight is tasked by NOAA’s Environmental Modeling Center. This means that they are interested in the data collected from this flight. The data will go into […]
The P3 and the G-IV jet are set to fly this afternoon and gather data in Maria. First up this afternoon is the P3 with a take off time of 1:00 PM ET (1700 UTC). The P3 will fly inside Hurricane Maria and gather data that will tell us how the storm is developing. Below […]
OPERATIONS Sunday, 24, Sept. 2017 NOAA42: The P3 was tasked by EMC to fly a Tail Doppler Radar mission into Hurricane Maria. Take off was around 1:00 AM ET (0500 UTC) from Lakeland Linder Regional Airport. No HRD scientists were on this flight. NOAA42: The P3 is tasked to fly an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) […]
NOAA’s hurricane hunter P3 aircraft is tasked by the Environmental Modeling Center to fly a Tail Doppler Radar mission into Hurricane Maria. Take off is scheduled for 1:00 AM ET (0500 UTC) from Lakeland, FL. The data from this flight and all NOAA flights will go into the weather prediction models. Below is the proposed flight track. The […]
The P3 is fueling up and getting ready to fly into Hurricane Maria. We continue to test the unmanned aerial system called the Coyote as well as the Doppler Wind Lidar instrument. These instruments are in the testing phase and could provide us with new measurements inside the hurricane. The P3 will take off at 1 […]
