Scientists utilize sharks for better hurricane forecasts
Researchers from the University of Delaware have used sensor-equipped sharks to monitor ocean conditions in real time, aiming to improve predictions of hurricane strength before they reach land. The devices measure factors such as temperature, salinity, and depth, and the data collected by the sharks help enhance models predicting hurricane intensity, especially those influenced by the warm upper layer of the ocean that affects storm strength. If successful, this technique could provide more accurate information to coastal regions from North Carolina to Massachusetts, strengthening their ability to prepare for increasingly powerful storms.
