The Campaign
The Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) was a NASA field study aimed at better understanding the physical processes that drive hurricane intensification. HS3 included three deployments from late summer to early fall between 2012 and 2014 across the Gulf of Mexico and the Subtropical Atlantic Ocean. The primary aircraft used were two Global Hawk Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) equipped with remote sensors to gather various storm and environmental data. HS3 was part of the Earth Venture Suborbital (EVS) field investigations.
