Event Details

Are you ready for the hurricane season? NOAA Flight meteorologist Richard Henning will show video of flights into the eye of hurricanes and describe the operations of Hurricane Hunter aircraft based at Lakeland-Linder Airport. Specially equipped NOAA aircraft play an integral role in hurricane forecasting. Data collected during hurricanes by the high-flying meteorological stations help forecasters make accurate predictions during a hurricane and help researchers achieve a better understanding of storm processes, improving their forecast models.
