The NOAA Hurricane Hunters are an American airborne unit that collects environmentally relevant and geographical data, including data on active hurricanes , as part of the Aircraft Operations Center (AOC) . They have been stationed at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa , Florida since 1993 . The unit reports to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
assignment
NOAA Hurricane Hunters conduct research with specially equipped aircraft such as the Lockheed P-3 , Gulfstream IV, and Cessna Citation to aid NOAA missions to predict changes in the Earth's environment and manage coastal and marine resources. In particular, hurricanes are flown through in order to record measurement data and then transmit them to meteorologists and scientists for further processing. Another task is to support research projects, for example studies on ocean winds, winter storms, thunderstorm research, coastal erosion and air chemistry.
