TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) -- This Tech Smart has a weather twist!

Michael Kozar joined us on WTXL Sunrise to talk about HWind, the real-time hurricane wind analysis system.

Hwind records real real-time tropical cyclone observations measured by land, sea, space, and air-borne platforms into an object relational database, adjusts them to a common framework

It then displays the data relative to the storm with interactive tools.

The data can be used by insurance companies, emergency management authorities, research scientists and weather forecasters.
