Helene drone flight breaks records for data collection and flying time
As Hurricane Helene developed in the Gulf of Mexico, NOAA researchers gathered critical data from the sea and sky to better understand tropical cyclones and support the National Hurricane Center forecasters. This real time data gives meteorologists a clearer picture of the storm environment and structure, reducing forecast uncertainty. Satellite imagery shows Hurricane Helene as it travels north from the Yucatan Peninsula and towards the Gulf of Mexico. Researchers from NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic & Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and University of Miami Cooperative Institute for Marine & Atmospheric Studies supported a series of NOAA Hurricane Hunter missions on September 25-26, 2024.
New USGS Data Release featuring Mauna Loa webcam imagery
The 2022 eruption of Mauna Loa volcano, Island of Hawaiʻi, was the first eruption on the volcano since 1984, producing a 17 km lava flow that threatened a major highway. The eruption began with lava fountaining in the summit caldera (Mokuʻāweoweo) at 23:21 HST on November 27, transitioning to vents on the Northeast Rift Zone (NERZ) by the next morning. The dominant vent on the NERZ—fissure 3—was active for about 13 days, sending a lava flow to the north that stalled within 3 km of Daniel K. Inouye Highway. The eruption ended on December 10, having covered a section of
