The U.S. Department of Defense has announced it will no longer shut down a program that provides satellite data on hurricanes to researchers and forecasters. The Navy confirmed that the data will remain accessible until the sensors fail or the monitoring program concludes next year.
This decision comes as part of ongoing efforts to enhance hurricane forecasting accuracy and improve public safety in the face of extreme weather events. The availability of real-time satellite data is crucial for meteorologists and disaster response teams to track storm development and issue timely warnings.
