Description:
NOAA Corps officers serve on the sea, on land, and in the air to support NOAA's science and stewardship mission. While most pilots try to avoid flying an airplane into severe weather, NOAA Hurricane Hunters fly specially equipped aircraft into, above and around the eye of the storm to collect crucial data that improves forecasts and helps protect lives and property. Meet one of our NOAA commissioned officers and hear about his experiences flying scientists into hurricanes.
