Novel Observations Collected in Hurricane Gabrielle
Alex DesRosiers, Mark DeMaria, Alan Brammer, James Franklin, Kate Musgrave, and Kate Schwartz are working with the NOAA Emerging Technologies team to develop new observation strategies to leverage small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) and swarms of small radiosondes, called streamsondes, to sample the vertical structure of the tropical cyclone (TC) wind field. Crew aboard the NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft executed one of the CIRA team’s modules (pictured below), designed by A. DesRosiers, to sample the developing inner-core region of then Tropical Storm Gabrielle in the Atlantic as it began to intensify into a major hurricane.
