GRIP Video File
The GRIP 2010 hurricane mission is in full force. During this year's Atlantic hurricane season, researchers will be able to "see" below the cloud-tops and uncover what is happening in the internal structure of the storm through the use of powerful instruments onboard the DC-8, WB-57, and Global Hawk aircraft. This will allow scientists to better understand what is required to kick-start a tropical depression into a hurricane. The NASA aircraft will be deployed from Florida (DC-8), Texas (WB-57) and California (Global Hawk) and will fly at varying altitudes over tropical storms in an attempt to capture them at different stages of development.
