- Into high waves and turbulence: engineers deploy smart devices to improve hurricane forecastsPredicting hurricane intensity has lagged behind tracking its path because the forces driving the storm have been difficult and dangerous to measure—until now. “When we’re talking 150, 200-mph winds, with 30-foot waves, you don’t send a boat and crew out there to collect data,” said David Richter, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and earth sciences at the University of Notre Dame. “We can now send drones and other ‘smart’ oceanographic instruments into hurricanes to take measurements in conditions previously considered too extreme to deploy anything.” Richter is the lead investigator on a $9-million Office of Naval Research (ONR) Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grant that brings together experts in atmospheric science, oceanography, and physics-informed modeling to improve hurricane intensity forecasts.
