Hurricane Hunters Fly in Eye of Storm Fiona

Hurricane Hunters, who were flying in Hurricane Fiona to collect environmental data, repositioned toward the center of the storm over St Croix on Wednesday, September 21, according to the 403rd Wing Public Affairs.

The Air Force Reserve explained that the “measurements and information from the aircraft aid in finding the basic aspects of the storm direction, speed, and intensity” to provide “better environmental data for the models to use in both track and intensity forecasting.”
