NASA Peers Inside Hurricane Edouard

The video discusses a study on Hurricane Edward using a remotely piloted vehicle to collect data such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed. It explains how clouds can obstruct measurements, leading scientists to use parachuted instruments for data collection. The video highlights the role of moisture and wind circulation in storm intensification, particularly focusing on Hurricane Edward. It examines how dry air initially slowed the storm's intensification, but moisture movement later contributed to rapid intensification. The study aims to understand the relationship between moisture, wind, and storm intensification.
