NASA now has two new powerful tools in studying the processes that underlie hurricane formation and intensity change in the Atlantic Ocean. Now, if there were only a "LIKE" button (sorry Facebook fanatics).

Cool. Makes me wonder if the Hurrican Hunters will still be around in 10 years? You could have three of these monitoring a storm 24/7. Two flying an one getting re-fueled. There will be some available as the wars wind down and they get replaced by newer models. There are also small disposable UAVs that drop like dropsondes. That would have one UAV dropping another UAV.
