In May NOAA predicted an 85% chance of an above normal hurricane season for 2024. We have seen huge storms and damage to property and life, so what part does remote sensing play? Amazingly, it is the backbone of how the NOAA, and other similar organisations, track, monitor these storms and support society to mitigate these forces of nature. In this article we'll see the 'Hurricane Hunters', scientists and decision makers using remote sensing and advanced technologies to their full potential in a unique and fascinating way.
