How sharks help with forecasting hurricanes

Breakdown

• University of Delaware researchers are attaching sensors to sharks to collect ocean data for hurricane forecasting. 21s
• The sensors record ocean heat content and transmit real-time data when sharks surface. 1m 28s
• The project is in early stages, with ongoing improvements to sensor design and deployment. 2m 57s
• Currently, a few blue and shortfin mako sharks have been tagged and are transmitting data. 4m 4s
• Researchers plan to scale up the program to provide broader data coverage for hurricane models. 4m 21s
