Wingo and ADMG are charged with improving the discoverability of and access to data from HS3 and the agency’s other airborne and field research programs. Today, Wingo is even more deeply immersed in airborne data as the head of NASA’s Airborne Data Management Group ( ADMG), which is part of NASA’s Interagency Implementation and Advanced Concepts Team ( IMPACT) under NASA’s Earth Science Data Systems ( ESDS) Program. HS3 was a 2012 to 2014 campaign aimed at using uncrewed aerial systems to make observations to explore the physical processes controlling hurricane intensity change and the roles environmental conditions and internal storm structures play in the strengthening of storms.ĭata from HS3 led to a better understanding of the thermodynamic structure of hurricanes, a detailed record of the rapid intensification of 2014’s Hurricane Edouard, and improvements in how to safely send high-altitude uncrewed aircraft into the dangerous parts of a storm. Wingo’s work was part of the Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel ( HS3) mission. “I was one of several people watching in real time the location of the science platforms and assisting in any needed adjustments in flight course to better sample key areas of a storm or avoid potential hazards,” said Wingo. Stephanie Wingo worked as a weather forecaster helping guide storm-hunting aircraft into hurricanes and other tropical tempests as they threatened the East Coast of the United States. The summer of 2013, NASA atmospheric scientist Dr. A chase plane captured this photo of NASA Global Hawk 872 on September 19, 2014, after the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) gathered data from a weakening Tropical Storm Edouard over the North Atlantic Ocean as part of NASA’s HS3 mission.
