#NASAHS3 Hurricane Research Feature: Feature/Video: NASA's HS3 Looks Hurricane Edouard in the Eye
NASA and NOAA scientists participating in NASA’s Hurricane and Severe Storms Sentinel (HS3) mission used their expert skills, combined with a bit of serendipity on Sept. 17, 2014, to guide the remotely piloted Global Hawk over the eye of Hurricane Edouard and release a sonde that rotated within the eye as it descended and fell into the eyewall of the storm at low levels.

ATLANTIC OCEAN- System 97L is spinning in the western Atlantic today. Shower activity associated with the weak low pressure area located a little more than 100 miles northwest of Bermuda is minimal and development is not expected, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC). The low should move toward the north and then north-northeast over the next couple of days. System 97L has a low chance for development. In fact, NHC gives it a "near zero" percent chance of development over the next 5 days. This infrared image was taken this morning at 6:52 a.m. EDT from NOAA's GOES-East satellite.

The Eastern Atlantic African Dust Storm Continues

The Eastern Atlantic African Dust Storm Continues- One of the things that NASA's HS3 hurricane mission has been investigating this year is the Saharan Air Layer and how Saharan dust affects tropical cyclones. On Sept. 29 at 8:15 a.m. EDT, the MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite took this picture of Saharan dust blowing off the western coasts of Mauritania and the Western Sahara and over the Atlantic Ocean.
