"It sort of provides a CAT scan of the storm.” Murillo said. “It gives us the wind structure which is important in how the storm is changing and evolving and therefore giving us a hint of the intensity of the storm." Murillo said the information will also make it back to local forecasters more quickly. She said the Doppler radar data will be sent in real time from the hurricane planes to forecasters on the ground. |
