The NOAA has released dramatic footage of one of its aircraft flying through HurricaneIan as part of a science mission.

There was coffee everywhere. I have never felt such lateral motion.”— Tropical Nick Underwood September 28, 2022 Scientists on these missions deploy GPS dropwindsondes — parachute-equipped scientific instruments — that are dropped from the aircraft as it flies through the hurricane.
