For anyone curious what we do, here is the situational awareness software. dots are UAS going in the eyewall at 250 m altitude. In this case, I'm trying to get high winds to help the NHC forecaster while also avoiding the nastiest stuff on radar that can sink the drone. #Isaías
A couple of the images from #hurricane #Polo on yesterday's mission from N42. We deployed 4 @BlackSwiftTech S0 UAS into various parts of the storm. NHC quoted the data we used in their forecast discussion which is pretty cool. Almost a 9.5 hr mission. It was busy
People should definitely check out this video made by @iCyclone from the ground during Hurricane Melissa.

Fifth and final pass through Hurricane Melissa for our crew today. Just after noon entering from the NW corner exiting SE.
Since @MaxVelocityWX showed my other video of Hurricane Melissa's eye, here are some more. :) The first one is the ocean surface near the eyewall interface
Getting ready for another @BlackSwiftTech UAS mission into Hurricane Melissa. Will we see Cat5 today?

Recently, student Danica Marr (‘26) and alumnus Sean Barnier (‘25) had the opportunity to fly on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) WP-3D Orion aircraft.

New paper released led by my former student! Using small UAS to calculate exchange coefficients at the air-sea interface in low winds. This is the result of years of development and validation by many involved in the project: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…
Excited to announce a new @AMSPublications
JTECH article: Development and Validation of the Skyfora StreamSonde – A Lightweight High Frequency Instrument to Measure Atmospheric Soundings
DOI: doi.org/10.1175/JTECH-D-24-0…
In this paper we demonstrate the capabilities of the @skyfora_weather Streamsonde, a novel atmospheric profiler that has a lot of potential including getting high-frequency swarm measurements.
Proud of all these students!
Three Embry‑Riddle students are headed to internships at NOAA weather research centers after being selected for the U.S. agency’s prestigious internship program. 🦅
Congrats to Kristen Mihalcik, Sean Barnier and Danica Marr! Read more: ow.ly/YeHO50VTgQ4 #GoERAU

A flight into Hurricane Hugo (1989) takes the prize for “bumpiest ever" for NOAA’s WP-3D Hurricane Hunter aircraft missions, according to @JoshWadler et al, who developed a novel “bumpiness index” to quantify 3-D turbulence.
