"In first, ocean drone captures footage from inside hurricane." Phys.org, 1 October 2021. Reviewed 3 October 2021, at which time the post had a photo of the device and a brief video.


"In a world first, US scientists on Thursday [30 September 2021] piloted a camera-equipped ocean drone that looks like a robotic surfboard into a Category 4 hurricane barreling across the Atlantic Ocean." See for a very cool-looking real-world device that provides an interface between human operators and a major meteorological event at sea. (It seems highly probable that the next generation of Saildrone will be AI and relatively [sic] autonomous.)
