NOAA 'hurricane hunters' collect data on Hurricane Isaias from the sky
How do scientists get data from the inside of a storm? NOAA’s hurricane hunters fly straight into them. The administration’s hurricane hunters use their aircraft to gather measurements that can help improve forecast models, NOAA flight director Kerri Englert explained.

What the coverage shows
Fox News’ two items do not match ABC News’ framing at all. Fox leads on Hurricane Isaias disrupting college football schedules, with one headline saying seven games were rescheduled and another focusing on Air Force hurricane hunters and forecast tracking. ABC News also focuses on hurricane hunters, but its extract centers on NOAA scientists collecting storm data to improve forecast models.
Written by Crossfiled from the 2 headlines and extracts below, not from the articles themselves. It describes how the outlets framed this, not what happened. Open any headline for a summary of that article.
