NEW YORK - This past hurricane season broke records. It has also been an active and challenging season for meteorologists to forecast. But new technology is being created right now to help better understand the strength and direction of the king of low pressure – the hurricane.
It is a spectacular sight: NOAA hurricane hunters flying through a hurricane then busting past the eyewall into its center. Attached to the aircraft are special weather instruments to collect data, like temperature, dew point, wind velocity, air pressure, to help meteorologists figure out the strength of a tropical cyclone and the direction it is taking.
