Ok. Seems like great data. Is there any other use inputs? Any comparisons of storms? Or, is it too new?
Saildrones aren't intended as a hurricane monitoring platform. The marine work I am most aware of them used for is multibeaming the seafloor, so my reaction as a seafarer on a research vessel is, "it survived?!?!?" (Also which model?). That's a sea state 7 and Beaufort of 9.
Which should answer your question that yes, there are not much in the way of other data points like this. There might be some other NOAA floats, buoys, and some vessels with weather station data which can report, but having an unscrewed vessel like Saildrone is just starting to be used. Marine research doesn't have the military budgets to just throw things at storms.
This is why Lemmy is neat. :)

What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
