A hurricane hunter aircraft, tasked with collecting weather data for NOAA, recently aborted its mission into the eye of Hurricane Melissa.
The aircraft encountered extreme turbulence, which made it unsafe to continue.
These missions are critical for gathering real-time information to better understand and predict the behavior of hurricanes. However, the safety of the crew remains the top priority during such operations.
NOAA continues to monitor Hurricane Melissa closely, using data from satellites and other sources to provide accurate forecasts and warnings.
