Full question:
Read the adapted excerpt from “NOAA Hurricane Hunters” by NOAA.
In addition to doing research to help scientists understand hurricanes and other kinds of tropical storms, NOAA's P-3s also do storm reconnaissance missions. The main purpose of these missions is to locate the center of the storm and measure central pressure and surface winds around the eye. Information from both research and reconnaissance flights directly contribute to the safety of people living along and visiting the vulnerable Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Which dictionary entry best supports the meaning of the word reconnaissance as used in the excerpt?
re·con·nais·sance | ri-ˈkä-nə-zən(t)s \ noun
