NASA | Flying Around the Radar

The video discusses the challenges of predicting storm intensity and introduces the High Wrap instrument, which is designed to study storm strength. The High Wrap radar, a dual-frequency system, measures three-dimensional winds and precipitation by scanning storms from different angles. It sends out 5000 pulses per second to accurately read precipitation particles, providing valuable data for understanding hurricane formation and intensification.
