Information about the NOAA missions going out:
http://www.aoc.noaa.gov/2008_Aircraft_Missions.htm
Including about the NOAA jet.

Mission status on Gustav NOAA missions:
http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/Storm_page ... ssion.html
Reasons for any cancellations and other data.

Airborne eXpendable BathyThermograph (AXBT):
http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/format/AXBT.html
Not much info there.

On this page though:
http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/HRD-P3_exp.html
You will find an image of the AXBT:
