Saildrone captures rare footage inside Hurricane Isaias before landfall
Original: Inside Isaias: Saildrone documents the wild environment inside the deadly hurricane before violent landfall
An uncrewed Saildrone vessel sailed directly into Hurricane Isaias, recording video and scientific data from inside the storm shortly before its violent landfall. The footage shows the extreme waves and conditions that made Isaias a deadly hurricane, offering researchers a rare look at a hurricane's interior environment from the ocean surface rather than from aircraft above.
Why now: The dramatic footage of a hurricane's interior captured by an ocean drone is a rare scientific and visual achievement, drawing wide attention.
