The NOAA Aircraft Operations Center released the ashes of Peter Dodge, a respected hurricane scientist, into Hurricane Milton’s eye as a tribute to his 44-year career.
Michael Lowry, a Hurricane Specialist, described the release of Dodge's ashes as a 'beautiful tribute' amid the turbulence typical of such flights.
A Vortex Data Message logged during the flight recorded various meteorological observations, concluding with a tribute to Peter Dodge's legacy as a hurricane scientist.
The tribute line 'PETER DODGE HX SCI (1950-2023) 387TH PENNY' signifies Dodge's impact on hurricane research, marking both his legacy and the act of hurricane penetration.
