The 'extreme profession' that hunts the most powerful storms on Earth Hard-core scientists aboard specially equipped National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) aircraft play an integral role in hurricane forecasting. Data collected from these high-flying and high-tech meteorological stations in the midst of a storm help forecasters make more accurate predictions during a powerful hurricane while researchers gain a better understanding of how storms evolve, which improves forecast models. But the job is not for the faint of heart. #HurricaneHunters #StormDataScience #ExtremeWeatherProfession
