They were supposed to do a mission Monday but they had a maintenance issue according to the data page here:
https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/2022-hurricane-field-program-data/#itofs

They had a mission map for that mission on that page.

Described there as "ITOFS - East", standing for "Impact of Targeted Observations on Forecasts" Experiment.
