Master Sgt. Zachary Zieman, 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron loadmaster, prepares a dropsonde during an atmospheric river mission, Feb. 18 at Mather Air Field, California. 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 Lt. Col. Sonia Walker)
