This Town Hall provides a forum for the hurricane community to discuss the preservation and accessibility of airborne hurricane data, as well as current and future applications of the data and how it can be better adapted for use in those applications. Panelists will first highlight the current state of airborne data in hurricanes. Subsequent open discussions will seek input from the community on a roadmap for how airborne data should be formatted, organized, and distributed to meet their needs, in particular how it can be better utilized with other observational datasets (e.g., satellite, ground-based, and ocean observing systems) and within the modeling and forecasting communities.
