A WC-130J Super Hercules aircraft assigned to the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron at Keesler Air Force Base, Miss., departs for St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, Aug. 11, 2022. The trip is in support of the United States Naval Academy's Training and Research in Oceanic and Atmospheric Processes in Tropical Cyclones (TROPIC) internship program where the 53rd WRS will deploy
airborne expendable bathythermograph buoys across a number of ocean features. The midshipmen receive, process, and transmit data to numerical forecast models, increasing the accuracy of upper ocean temperatures in regions frequented by tropical storms.
