Underwater acoustic sensing offers a novel method for measuring hurricane wind speeds and destructive power. This technique uses sound waves in the ocean to provide accurate, real-time hurricane intensity data.

Area of Science:

  • Oceanography
  • Acoustics
  • Meteorology

Background:

  • Hurricanes pose significant threats, necessitating accurate measurement of wind speed and destructive power.
  • Current methods for hurricane monitoring have limitations in certain environments.
  • Underwater acoustic sensing presents a potential alternative for data acquisition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of using underwater acoustic sensing for hurricane wind speed measurement.
  • To determine the destructive power of hurricanes using acoustic data.
  • To compare the proposed acoustic method with existing hurricane monitoring techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a model for acoustic intensity and mutual intensity in an ocean waveguide under hurricane conditions.
