UGA Gliders Dive Deep To Improve Hurricane Predictions

Forecasters predict a more active hurricane season this year, now
that the El Nino weather pattern has ended. Current predictions
estimate as many as 10 to 17 possible named storms. Getting
accurate models of a hurricane’s path plays a big part in coastal
communities’ ability to stay safe. Researchers at the University of
Georgia aim to improve the precision of these models by launching
underwater autonomous gliders to collect data from the briny deep.
