A short video profile of Janel Thomas. She was a member of NASA's Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) field campaign in 2010 where she operated the dropsonde instrument onboard NASA's DC-8 aircraft. She was a part of four successful missions into Hurricane Earl during late August and early September, 2010. Her research extends from the GRIP project where she is investigating the rapid intensification of tropical cyclones and the dynamic processes involved. She is currently forecasting for the NASA Hurricane and Severe Sentinel (HS3) Mission.
