Peter Dodge, a revered meteorologist and hurricane researcher, was honored posthumously by having his ashes scattered in the eye of Hurricane Milton by NOAA's Hurricane Hunters. This tribute marked Dodge's 387th 'eye penetration,' a term for flights through a hurricane's eye, aligning with his lifelong dedication to studying tropical cyclones. Dodge, who passed away in 2023 at 72, contributed significantly to radar meteorology and tropical cyclone research during his 44-year career. Known for his work with NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, Dodge's final flight was a fitting homage, given his extensive experience and passion for understanding hurricanes. His colleagues and friends, including Frank Marks and Jeff Masters, praised Dodge for his invaluable contributions and his humble and insightful nature. The ceremony, held during a flight as Hurricane Milton approached Florida, was both a personal and professional tribute to Dodge's life's work.
