...yes, we actually "flew" into the typhoon's "eye"--called a "penetration"--to measure the barometric pressure (very low), humidity (very high) and temperature (moderate).

...the Navy Aerographers ("weather-guessers") could predict where the storm was going to track from knowing "where" the lowest barometric pressure was located inside the storms' eye...where the low-pressure was positioned, was where it was most likely to head towards.
