KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE (Sept. 28, 2022) The U.S. Naval Academys Training and Research in Oceanic and Atmospheric Processes in Tropical Cyclones (TROPIC) team joined the Hurricane Hunters of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron on a mission into Hurricane Ian. The purpose of the TROPIC program is to allow midshipmen and graduate students the opportunity to fly through storms in planes that drop airborne expendable bathythermograph (AXBT) sensors into the ocean, collecting data they produce to include the oceans temperature, salinity, and density changes underneath the storm, while also evaluating the waves themselves for future research.
