Since 2012, Stanford researchers linked 2 sensor technologies to record hurricane forces near the sea surface. Now, the new data stream could help forecast storm intensity before hurricanes make landfall
Hurricane forecasting may soon get help from an unlikely place: earthquake sensors. Stanford researchers found that seismometers can detect tiny ground movements caused by hurricane pressure and turbulence near the surface. Paired with infrasound microphones, these instruments captured changes durin... Hurricane forecasting may soon get help from an unlikely place: earthquake sensors.
