While hurricane hunter planes fly over storms, saildrones fly at water level. KPRC2Frank says two of the drones will gather critical information in the Gulf of Mexico.
I blogged last year about Saildrones. You’ll recall that while Hurricane Hunters record storm data when flying directly into a storm, saildrones are at water level! Unmanned, they safely slice directly into any size tropical storm or hurricane measuring the same critical information as the Hunters are gathering above--wind speeds, wave heights, pressure location, temperatures and more.
Not to mention that the saildrone at the same time captured 125mph winds--a dangerous mission for any manned craft. You can see theof the saildrone inside Hurricane Sam and I’m warning you it gets a little bumpy! A world first, this video really captures what any sailor and ship actually could get caught in during hurricane season! Just imagine those Spanish Galleons and other ships of centuries ago innocently besieged by these storms and you can see why they sank.
What’s exciting about this new surface hurricane hunter is that Saildrone has added two more to their calvary and those two of seven will be stationed in the Gulf of Mexico.
