Hurricane hunter monitoring storm radar onboard C-130 Hercules

UNITED STATES - NOVEMBER 16: In this handout footage provided by U.S. Department of Defense, Aircrew with the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron "Hurricane Hunters," an Air Force Reserve unit assigned to the 403rd Wing at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi fly missions where the aircraft collects weather data such as temperature, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, and surface pressure. Aircrews fly through the eye of a storm four to six times to locate the low-pressure center and circulation of the storm, during each pass through the eye, they release a dropsonde which collects weather data on its descent to the ocean surface, specifically gathering data on the surface winds and pressure. The data collected during the flight is transmitted via satellite communication every 10 minutes to the NHC to assist them with their forecasts and storm warnings.
