Storm simulator recreates Category 5 hurricane conditions

  • Researchers at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science are creating their own hurricanes in a state-of-the-art lab. Forecasters predict fewer storms this year because of a combination of El Niño and cooler ocean temperatures, but they also warn a quiet season can produce a devastating hurricane. The Atlantic hurricane season enters day two, and Mark Strassmann is in Miami with the experiments that could end up saving lives.

      Katrina was a category 1 when it made landfall in Florida and a 3 in Louisiana/Mississippi. It was a 5 in the Gulf only.

      @spanglelime 4 роки тому +14

      Joshua Villagomez it truly depends on where you are, and your area’s natural geography. We chose not to evacuate during Dorian, and we were absolutely fine. The evac order was called off mid-afternoon Wednesday, storm surge is a lot more dependent on the continental shelf and how close it cuts to land. Where I live, we have a very steep shelf, which makes for a permanent ripcurrent and great waves for any kind of boarding year-round, but that shelf also reduces storm surge on the land. If you’re in the Carolinas for instance, they have a very shallow continental shelf and you walk a long way out before the ocean will get deep, which creates more problems for inland flooding with storm surge when a hurricane hits.
      ...I was glued to the National Hurricane Center Facebook Lives during Dorian and was learning a lot about storm surge and what can cause lower and higher storm surge, and flooding. The NHC’s Facebook is great bc they leave the lives up, and they’ll talk to different people in the center who are experts on different things. The storm surge guy was really helpful.
      www.nhc.noaa.gov/surge/#IMPACT
      My town’s last big strike was Irma, the locals here (we moved down 2 years ago) say it’s very rare that any hurricane actually does any major damage, so a lot of people will stay bc the odds are typically very high in our favor. My family follows the example of our next door neighbors... when they pack up and leave, it’s time to get out, and they’ve been here 20 years and only evacuated once, which they regretted. That’s just us, and that’s my town. I am highly in favor of others evacuating, but now I have a much better understanding of why people here aren’t bothered about evacuating. Just my personal experience. I’d still rather deal with a major snowstorm in Massachusetts (where we moved down from), than a Florida hurricane. My nerves were frayed until Dorian passed.

      This is a simulation. There is actually a lot of calculation put into designing simulations like these. Although the speeds are different, this small scale model can get pretty close to real conditions, even if the wind speeds are not the same. The key comes in fluid dynamics; engineers use parameters like the Reynold's number, and by modifying the properties of the air like pressure and temperature, they can predict what 200 mph winds can do by using only 150 mph wind.

    Well ,, please pray for me as I'm currently in Orlando and my father doesn't want to evacuate or protect the house because he thinks the hurricane won't be harsh . He thinks that what the news is saying is bs because he claims " they always say it's going to be bad but nothing horrible happens .. " and me and my mom are trying to get him to at least protect the house .

      Orlando is fine. The strongest winds of a hurricane are confined in a very small area. Orlando won't ever get winds too severe, because it is inland.

    The waves washing around the model house are not really a representation of a hurricane storm surge. It's actually a general rise in water level, which can get up to 20 feet in extreme situations. Wind-driven waves are atop the surface of the surge, which doesn't recede each time a wave breaks but just stays high for hours.
