Ok that was wild.

Loved the graphical data along the bottom of the screen. Great choice. Please keep posting these if possible. It's fairly riveting. Cheers.

Awesome. I would love a technically deep dive into the saildrone, it's an impressive piece of kit

There is something strangely similar to the chaos of a hurricane and the lived everyday human experience. There is: Before the storm. The storm. After the storm.

So nice, I liked it twice!

Wow, incredible. The power of Mother Nature is awesome. Did it pass through the eye of the storm?

It would have been nice to hear the actual sounds, otherwise fantastic video!

This saildrone has no microphone. What would be its scientific purpose?

the scientific purpose would be "to hear it"....lol

This is the coolest video! We need more NOAA!❤

Was one deployed for Ian?

epic

Geez what would the wave heights be in a cat 5

I’m not doubting what it says but I wonder why waves really don’t look like they’re 50 m tall

The measurement is in feet not meters.

AMAZING! I was just wondering about seeing it in the EYE of the storm> I thought it said that it passed through the eye. Did it show that footage? I always thought they eye was very "still". I'm not very educated in Hurricanes, for I live in Utah. Fascinating footage! My Goodness it would be TERRIFYING to be in the ocean going through a Hurricane.

I don't believe it actually passed through the eye itself. It passed through the eyewall, which is a region near the center of a developed tropical cyclone where the towering thunderstorms that power the system are located. The updrafts responsible for that wall of cumulonimbus clouds reduce surface pressure, causing air to try to rush in, only to be deflected by the Coriolis Effect into a circle of powerful, rotating winds. The eye of a tropical cyclone is relatively calm *on land,* but not so much at sea. Although winds are reduced, waves coming into the eye have been whipped in different directions by the wind, which is rotating in a tight circle in the eyewall. This can actually create cross seas, where waves are extremely choppy (since they're coming from every direction) and may even interfere constructively at some intersections, creating enormous, potentially deadly peaks and valleys. If they'd gotten a video of the eye, it would have been fascinating, but nowhere near as tranquil as it might sound.

I mean, where is the real sound? we dont want random musics.

I belive the drones don't have microphones. They really don't need them for weather Data collection

The hurricane just stops?

No, the hurricane moved beyond the saildrone. The saildrone sailed through it, for about 24 hours, not with it for the duration of the storm.

Can you actually put someone inside since it is indestructible ?

Wow 40 foot wave I’m only 5’5 Scary

amazing video ! but bad music

46’ waves !!!!! Hope to god I never actually see that !!

I could swim it.

I thought hurricanes made a wind whooshing or roaring sound...must be a global warming thing.

Terrible choice in music, but great video otherwise.
