NASA flew this new device into Hurricane Helene. It could change the future of storm forecasting

Get the Full StoryThe instrument uses the Doppler effect to create real-time, 3D maps of wind patterns above the Earth s surface, which historically has been difficult to capture.

This fall, NASA scientist Kris Bedka flew into Hurricane Helene to test a device that uses lasers to create ultradetailed wind measurements. It could be the key to unlocking better storm predictions.
