And HRD participation continues
with Winter Storm Reconnaissance 2000, operating out of
Anchorage, studying Gulf of Alaska polar lows, and WSR 2001,
operated out of Honolulu, studying Kona lows and jet stream
turbulence.
HRD also runs the H*Wind project, which
brings together wind measurements from aircraft, satellites,
ships, and buoys and creates an integrated near surface wind
field. These fields are given to NHC's hurricane specialists
in real-time, and are later posted on the World Wide Web for
researchers around the globe.
