Federal and state congressional staffers tour the forward operating location at Mather Air Field, California used by the Air Force Reservists from the the 403rd Maintenance Group and the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron and are briefed about the atmospheric rivers mission, Feb. 20. The Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters conduct atmospheric river missions to collect data that is important for forecasters at the National Weather Service and researchers to track atmospheric rivers, which are large amounts of water vapor in the earth’s atmosphere. This data is invaluable in improving the accuracy of weather models, especially in predicting the timing, intensity, and impact of these events. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Master Sgt.
