Ocean mapping by Saildrones could lead to better forecasts of storm surges

Saildrones are autonomous vehicles working in the ocean off the coast of Florida. They help us understand climate change, hurricanes and forecasts. Much of the destruction caused by hurricanes comes from storm surge, but it’s hard to predict. come up with better information about the ocean floor. Hurricane winds aren’t the only thing that influences …

Better space weather forecasts could have saved SpaceX Starlink satellites from solar storm

Even small solar outbursts can have massive consequences for the environment around Earth, space weather experts learned after SpaceX lost 40 brand-new satellites in February after launching them into a “mild” geomagnetic storm. In a new study, a team of researchers explain how to correct space weather forecasts in the future, in order to prevent …
