NASA | Global Hawks Soar into Storms

The video discusses the predictability of storm tracks, which are influenced by large-scale winds, and the complexity of storm intensity, which depends on a range of scales. NASA's Global Hawk aircraft are used to study storms, capable of long-duration flights to gather data. The aircraft are equipped with instruments to measure environmental conditions and storm dynamics. Ideal research conditions involve storms that interact with the Saharan air layer and develop into major hurricanes, providing valuable data for understanding storm intensification.
