Global Hawk / SHOUT
Published on Apr 15, 2016
NASA’s autonomously flown Global Hawk aircraft flew a series of flights over the Pacific Ocean during February 2016, as part of the NOAA-led mission called Sensing Hazards Operational Unmanned Technology, or SHOUT. This year’s El Nino season offered a unique opportunity for the aircraft to contribute data directly to NOAA’s El Nino Rapid Response field campaign. The campaign is seeking to determine key mechanisms affecting El Ni?o's impacts on the U.S. and their implications for improving NOAA's observational systems, models and predictions.
The Global Hawk aircraft offers both NASA and NOAA scientists an exclusive vantage point to observe atmospheric conditions with the plane's ability to fly at 65,000 feet for a time period up to 30 hours. These long-endurance and high-altitude observations give NOAA scientists the opportunity to see a larger picture of how atmospheric changes in the tropics are directly impacting weather activity in the Western U.S.
