Technologies used to study hurricanes

The video tutorial explains various technologies used in hurricane data collection. It starts with the Gill ultrasonic anemometer, which uses sound pulses to measure wind speed and direction. The WP3D Orion aircraft is equipped with radar systems to measure rainfall and wind speeds. When the aircraft reaches a hurricane's eye, it deploys a probe to collect data. The TRMM Satellite and Global Hawk drone gather additional data on rain intensity and hurricane conditions. Finally, the Smart R radar observes hurricanes from a distance.
