Captured by SD 1068's onboard camera during Hurricane Ernesto, at 18:00 UTC, August 16, 2024, 11 nm SW of Bermuda. Wind gusts: 54:93 knots, significant wave height: 10.10 m.
NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) are partnering with Saildrone, Inc. to observe hurricanes in real time. Saildrones are uncrewed surface vehicles powered by wind and solar energy and remotely piloted. They are capable of making multiple concurrent measurements of the environment including wind speed, wave height, temperature, pressure, and salinity.
