Question

In 500 words or less, develop a structured and engaging initial post that covers all discussion points as outlined for this topic.

After reviewing the information provided in module 9 regarding the NOAA Hurricane Hunters, construct an engaging 3-paragraph initial post that discusses the conditions and potential hazards of flying an aircraft through a hurricane. The discussion should address the following:

• Paragraph 1: Summarize the horizontal and vertical structure of weather elements (pressure, winds, clouds, etc.), and the circulation of air within a hurricane (graphics will add greatly to the discussion here).
• Paragraph 2: Based on the summary in paragraph 1, discuss the specifics of the expected flight conditions (winds, visibility, turbulence, weather, etc.) and potential flight hazards for a hurricane data collection mission in a NOAA Hurricane Hunter P-3 Turbo-prop aircraft, where the planned flight path will take the plane through the center of the hurricane from its outer edge, at an altitude of 10,000 feet.
• Paragraph 3: Justify the importance of the dangerous mission of the hurricane hunters, by discussing: 1) the types of data collected during a hurricane hunter mission, and the sensors onboard the NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft used to collect the data, AND 2) one or more of the important uses and outcomes of the data collected.
