Weather Things: Hurricane Data

The video discusses the challenges of forecasting hurricanes due to limited data, especially when storms are at sea. It highlights the role of the US Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters, who fly into storms to gather critical data. The video also covers NOAA and NASA's contributions, including the use of high-altitude aircraft and drones to collect data for research and real-time forecasting. These efforts help improve the accuracy of hurricane predictions, especially as storms approach land.
