The Cape Verde Islands off the coast of western Africa are well-known to hurricane scientists because that's a region where a number of tropical cyclones form during the Atlantic hurricane season. NASA's multi-year Hurricane and Severe Storms Sentinel, or HS3, mission may explore tropical cyclones of Cape Verde origins when it takes to the skies again this August.
