RT @NOAA_HurrHunter: Join us in the flight station to see what it's like flying into a hurricane!
This morning @NOAA WP-3D Orion #NOAA43 "Miss Piggy" flew a critical mission into Hurricane #Helene ahead of its landfall later today. Data collected will help improve intensity forecasts and support hurricane research.
Check @NHC_Atlantic and https://t.co/0W0v11zPGt for the latest forecasts and advisories. #FlyNOAA

RT @NOAA_HurrHunter: Ride through the eyewall of Hurricane #Helene aboard @NOAA WP-3D Orion #NOAA42 "Kermit" during our evening mission on Sept. 26, 2024. This mission gathered crucial data of a large hurricane intensifying before landfall. Find NOAA resources on continuing impacts and post storm recovery at https://t.co/Ssv6wM3Qmd.

RT @NOAA_HurrHunter: Kermit and the crew are sending a postcard from Ireland!

@NOAA’s “Kermit,” a WP-3D Orion (#NOAA42), flying missions in the North Atlantic for the Ocean Winds Experiment Program for @NOAASatellites. These flights obtain measurements of the ocean surface in a variety of environmental conditions with a focus on extreme wind events.

The primary objectives of these missions are to:
➡️Improve our knowledge of the physics at the air-sea interface
➡️Explore new remote-sensing instrument capabilities
➡️Calibrate and validate ocean surface remote-sensing products and techniques in the storm environment
