Hurricane Sam 2021 Trajectory LIVE
A ROBOTIC surfboard created by Salindrone captured incredible images of the interior of Hurricane Sam at Category 4 status.
“Saildrone goes where no research vessel has ever been, sailing right in the eye of the hurricane, collecting data that will transform our understanding of these powerful storms,†said Richard Jenkins, Founder and CEO of Saildrone .
“Using the data collected by the saildrones, we plan to improve forecast models that predict rapid intensification of hurricanes,†said Greg Foltz, a NOAA scientist.
The storm, which is the 18th nominee of the season, became a Category 4 on Sunday and briefly weakened to a Category 3 on Monday before reverting to a 4 on Tuesday and maintaining that status until Thursday.
