Scientists harness sharks to forecast hurricanes
Using sharks as mobile observers, researchers from the University of Delaware are exploring the possibility of gathering vital ocean data to improve hurricane prediction and severity forecasting. A sensor device is attached to the shark's fin to measure salinity, water temperature, and depth, and it transmits the data to satellites when the shark surfaces. The research aims to collect real-time information about the mixed layer of the ocean, which significantly influences hurricane strength. Such data could enhance forecast accuracy and bolster preparedness for coastal regions along the U.S. East Coast. If successful, this approach could serve as a new tool that surpasses traditional methods in climate and weather monitoring.
