Tech. Sgt. Karen Moore and Chief Master Sgt. Rick Cumbo, 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron loadmasters, analyze weather data being relayed to the aircraft by a dropsonde, a parachute-borne cylindrical instrument that collects meteorological data as it drops toward the surface of the water. The Hurricane hunters flew several missions Feb. 11-25, 2016, to collect metoerological data from atmospheric rivers above the Pacific to assist in improving West Coast weather forecasts.
