NOAA GOES satellite, NDBC Buoy and NHC dropsonde data for sea surface temperature and meteorological variables including air temperature, wind speed and sea level pressure were used for computations. The mission planner also receives updated, near-real-time wind speeds while in the air using hand-launched dropsondes (hand-sized, parachute-equipped wind indicators). [FIGURE 2 OMITTED] Sophisticated new software integrates real-time wind data from numerous sources--GPS dropsondes, radar, and light distance and ranging--via an encrypted datalink, then calculates computed aerial release points, as well as probable landing areas for unguided or failed chutes. |
