1
00:00:09,190 --> 00:00:07,909
the grip 2010 hurricane mission is in

2
00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:09,200
full force

3
00:00:14,070 --> 00:00:11,040
during this year's atlantic hurricane

4
00:00:16,390 --> 00:00:14,080
season researchers will be able to see

5
00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:16,400
below the cloud tops and uncover what is

6
00:00:20,470 --> 00:00:18,240
happening in the internal structure of

7
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:20,480
the storm through the use of powerful

8
00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:22,720
instruments attached on board to the

9
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:25,199
dc-8 wb-57

10
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:28,080
and global hawk aircraft this will allow

11
00:00:31,669 --> 00:00:29,920
scientists to better understand what is

12
00:00:33,910 --> 00:00:31,679
required to kick start a tropical

13
00:00:35,990 --> 00:00:33,920
depression into a hurricane the nasa

14
00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:36,000
aircraft will be deployed from florida

15
00:00:42,389 --> 00:00:39,680
that's the dc-8 texas wb-57 and

16
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:42,399
california the global hawk and will fly

17
00:00:47,110 --> 00:00:44,480
at varying altitudes over tropical

18
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:47,120
storms in an attempt to capture them at

19
00:00:52,069 --> 00:00:49,840
different stages of development grip is

20
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:52,079
designed to take the latest technologies

21
00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:55,199
that nasa can bring to bear satellites

22
00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:57,199
aircraft that fly in the storm aircraft

23
00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:59,440
that fly over the storm systems on the

24
00:01:03,349 --> 00:01:01,440
ground let's put it all out there for

25
00:01:06,310 --> 00:01:03,359
six weeks and see what we can learn

26
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:06,320
about the physics of these storms

27
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:08,799
grip is a original

28
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:10,560
nasa experiment

29
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:12,320
we expect that these measurements will

30
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:14,320
enable hurricane modelers to improve

31
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:18,240
their track and intensity forecasts

32
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:21,040
nasa is providing two aircraft a dc-8

33
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:22,799
aircraft and an unmanned global hawk

34
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:25,680
aircraft for use in the field it's also

35
00:01:29,990 --> 00:01:28,400
providing a suite of advanced remote

36
00:01:31,190 --> 00:01:30,000
sensing instruments

37
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:31,200
to measure

38
00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:33,520
processes within storms and the

39
00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:35,200
hurricane environment

40
00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:36,560
many of these instruments have been

41
00:02:14,070 --> 00:01:40,240
funded and developed at nasa

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:03:01,350
nice

43
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:02,390
seven

44
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:25,030
we sometimes can reduce the energy also

45
00:03:57,670 --> 00:03:26,869
this one is going to be like
