Emmy Storm Study Aims to Improve Hurricane Prediction Tools
Twenty five scientists plan to fly over tropical storm Emmy in a Convair 990 jet to test sensors for satellites and spacecraft in hopes of advancing hurricane prediction. The mission, led by Earl Peterson of NASA, will gather high altitude data while other aircraft handle mid and low altitude measurements. Dr. Robert Sheets notes long term forecasting remains the goal but data may aid future equipment development.
