- Saildrone and @NOAA_AOML kicked off the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Mission early this year, with Saildrone Explorer SD-1041 intercepting the northern edge of the then category 5 Hurricane Beryl about 100 nm south of Puerto Rico. @NOAAResearch
00:00 - BREAKING NEWS: Saildrone and @NOAA have released the FIRST video from Cat 4 Hurricane Fiona! SD 1078 is battling 50-foot waves and winds measured over 100 mph! #hurricanefiona #saildrone #noaa
- Saildrone is proud to support @NOAA in its continued effort to better understand and predict devastating events like Hurricane Milton. We wish all those in its path the best of luck to weather the storm safely.Inside Hurricane Milton, @saildrone reported wave height of 28.12 feet and wind gusts as strong as 75.95 mph while 40 nautical miles from the center of the storm. This research represents a collaborative endeavor to better understand the role of the ocean in hurricanes.
