[Dave]

I think I'm going to head for Alaska tonight. Will try to be around for one of them if at all possible.

[srainhoutx]

I hear you Dave. This may well be one of if not the most sampled cyclone in history if it develops.

[brunota2003]

I'm glad to see the Global Hawk will be up (how about the fact it'll be flying a 24 hour long mission?!). Why can't we get a bunch more of them, and fly them at penetration level for around the clock surveillance of tropical cyclones (when a Hurricane Hunter aircraft is not able to fly through them due to having to go back for lack of fuel, and the next flight isn't for another 12 hours)?

Would be awesome to have data for every up and down intensity wise. One could also fly constant G-IV like flights and drop sondes for the models.

[srainhoutx]

A very good read for those wanting to know what to expect from the GRIP Research Flights...

[cycloneye]

Certainly,it will be facinating to watch as all the data comes from those special missions.

[cycloneye]

These two missions are right now going on.Is there information available? Lets see if the Air Force plane goes this afternoon.

[srainhoutx]

The Global Hawk flight will take some time reach the Caribbean from CA and it is my understanding that it will only spend 4-6 hours over 92L.

The Global Hawk flight will take some time reach the Caribbean from CA and it is my understanding that it will only spend 4-6 hours over 92L.

From California? I thought they would takeoff from a more closer base.

From California? I thought they would takeoff from a more closer base.

The missions will be from Edwards AFB in Southern CA.

Thank you Steve for the information.

But the sentence was not continued.

[CrazyC83]

There is a NOAA plane on the way, it seems like an operational mission.

[cycloneye]

Crazy,yes.Who wants to make a recon discussion thread?
