Eyes. in this case we have an ocean thats very warm. the global oceans have warmd up by a degree so far. its a little less than 2 degrees fahrenheit. we know for each degree of warming, of the ocean surface, you get an increase of 7% in the maximum sustained winds of these very strong storms. that might not sound that big, but the destructive potential of the storm goes as the third power of the wind speed. thats a 23% increase in destructive potential. we saw that. we saw that in the bahamas. t...

Instruments on the outside of the plane? or do you, does it involve weather balloon like devices? >> its a combination of all of that. we have a microwave radiometer that being lows down at the ocean and measure how much is coming up from the ocean surface and that translates into wind speed. we also drop instrument packages that fall by parachute down into the eye wall, measuring the maximum winds. we also drop one of those instruments right in the middle of the eye to get you the very best inf...

Its like a cruise ship, if you decide to turn it around, its going to keep going for a while. 22,000 miles up in space, thats where we have our satellite. there is the eye of the form. youre looking at clear skies when it opened up this morning and then that giant 30-to-40 foot waves down across the ocean surface. 185 gusts but its 150, the maximum sustained winds, an impressive hurricane. once once-the-beco they become this they tend to wobble a bit. the hurricane watch is posted a little south...

They can get those things all the way down to the ocean surface, see what the pressure is doing with the storm and see if it is getting stronger or weaker and so far its gotten stronger. there is not a plane out there right now. it will be. theres a plane flying over the top of it, dropping from space, 45,000 feet, almost like an inverse weather balloon. instead of going up, it goes down. we get the same kind of data and the data goes into the models. it looks like a nice smooth path all the way...

These from the sky. she drop them all the way down to the ocean surface. its a weather balloon in reverse. you dont send it up. you put a parachute on it and you send it down. so now the models have weather balloon data so they did a much better job in the overnight hours that now they agree. they will agree to disagree tonight, im sure. but what we know is that the hurricane watches have been posted for the bahamas. heres the american model and european model. this is 72 hours. you cant get two...

Grade hound is old and big and slow. and its as safe and dependable as they come. its a twin prop that dates back to 1960s. but in all those decades no one has built a better way to get passengers and mail and cargo onto the deck of an aircraft carrier. so when a gray hound suffered an an parent total engine failure, it was a shock. but that is when lieutenant combs went into the cockpit. he brought the plane down and set on landing on the ocean surface despite seas reported between 10 and 12 fe...

Safe and dependable as they come. its a twin prop that dates back to the 1960s but in all those decades, no one has built a better way to get mail on to the carrier. so when it suffered a total engine failure, it was a shock. thats when lieutenant stephen cox went to work, he brought the plane down and set down on the ocean surface, despite seas of about 10 to 12 feet. there were 11 souls on board and eight survived. combs, the pilot, was not one of them. stephen combs was 28, a native of pitsfi...

Decades, no one has built a better way to get mail on to the carrier. so when it suffered a total engine failure, it was a shock. thats when lieutenant stephen combs went to work, he brought the plane down and set down on the ocean surface, despite seas of about 10 to 12 feet. there were 11 souls on board and eight survived. combs, the pilot, was not one of them. stephen combs was 28, a native of pitsfield mass. he served on the aircraft "ronald reagan" and the co-pilot said stephen combs, quote...

This storm a little, its rubbing right along the coast of cuba, that is a little bit of a disruptive factor but its still quite the storm. >> if it wasnt rubbing on the coast, out to sea would be stronger, right? more intense? >> theres every reason it would be? its getting a good source of warm water right now, very low sheer. beautiful ray v radar structure if you like that thing but its not beautiful as far as what is ahead for florida. >> what type of data are you collecting right now and ho...
