Pros And Cons Of Hurricane Hunters

Improved Essays
There are many different kinds of hunters. There are treaure hunters, hurricane hunters, and ancient civilization hunters. They all have many different factors to contribute. However, they are all hunters that discover new things about the world every day. Saying as they are all diferent, they all have pros and cons. I am in favor of the more advanced methods of hunting that are used in the present day.

Treaure hunting has been a big factor of Florida's history all thanks to Spain. The Dutch and English had the idea to stop the trading route to Spain to collect all of their treasure. However, Spain got their treasure back with the complication of a Hurricane that destroyed all but one ship which was believed to be on the Florida coastline. The mailbox system was then created. Mel Fisher was the creator. The system is a large pipe that is bent at a 90 degree angle. It is the width of a boat's propellors. The jets from the

It is when someone experienced flies through the eye, the eyewall, and the spiral rain bands to collect data on hurricanes. This is helpful because it uses something called Dropsondes. Dropsondes are little parachute items that that transmit bursts of data about the storm that goes to the airplane to warn people. This data includes: the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and the speed and direction of the winds. It can also tell if the hurricane's strength is increasing or decreasing. This is helpful because it warns people about the storm as soon as possible. Some people may think this is dangerous for the pilot as well as the navigator. It could be if you are not experienced enough. "O'Hair later described the violent winds that tossed the plane around like a stick in a dog's mouth.' " (Caldwell, Paragraph 4) The people from the first flight were two very experienced people. This method is one of the ways hunting has become very

    Inthe old days they used to have planes go into the eye of the hurricane to tell the weather as in lines 9-11 "Between altitudes of 1,000 to 10,000 feet, Hurricane Huntrs fly through three parts of a hurricane: an eye, an eyewall, and spiral rain bands. Now we have satelite that takes photos of the earh and shows us how big the storms are. W also use a stick called a Dropsonde Hurricane Sensor. This new technology helps us out because the U.S Air Force uses this 24/7 to scout if any hurricanes are coming in lines 8-12. It also helps because it helps the people know either to get ready for a storm incase it could be a dangerous…

    Isaac's Storm Summary

    Telegrams and other primary source information titled “The Storm” or “Telegram” are interspaced throughout the book. These “pre-chapters” tell about the location of the storm or explain how hurricanes work. Vertical lines on both sides of the text clearly indicate it is a “pre-chapter”. I found these entries effective in giving context to the chapter narrative that followed. The chapters starting in Part VI focused on Galveston from the perspective of various survivors such as Dr. Young, Louise Hopkins, Louisa and August Rolfing, Judson Palmer, and Ruby Credo, plus Isaac’s own, often times exaggerated, recollections.…

    Search and Rescue in the Florida Everglades Search and Rescue (SAR) in the Florida Everglades provides a unique challenge due to the remote location and operations can often only be attempted by boat or aircraft. A suitable replacement for manned aircraft in these search and rescue operations could be a quad rotor unmanned aerial system (UAS). Manned aircraft, whether fixed wing or helicopters, are expensive to fly and maintain. A fleet of small quad rotor UAS equipped with a SAR specific sensor loadout, could be carried on boats and deployed on location to provide support (“S9 SAR”, n.d.)…

    The hurricane can be summed up as “the destructive fury of nature” (SparkNotesEditors). It is the direct contrast of the other natural symbols that beautify nature; it is a force of sheer destruction (SparkNotesEditors). It compels the characters to ask existential questions and ponder their place in the universe (SparkNotesEditors). It forces them to question whether their god really cares about them and their lives (SparkNotesEditors). “The hurricane symbolizes the all-powerful force of nature, which trumps even the most intense exertions of power by humans, such as Jody’s abusive need for control, or Mrs. Turner’s sense of racial hierarchy, or Tea Cake’s physical strength” (Florman and Kestler “LitChart on “Their Eyes Were Watching God.””).…

    Right from the start, our two essays approach their own topics in their own unique ways, using their own unique terminologies, and describing their individual weather event in drastically different tones. The first essay, What They Don’t Tell You About Hurricanes, starts off by declaring the uncertainty of a hurricane. The essay elaborates on the aftermath of a previous maelstrom that maliciously tore through the coast, initiating deadly lightning fires and horrendous floods. The monotonous way one prepares for such a storm is described almost in a detached, robotic way as if the ones preparing do not want to show any emotion because they know that if they do, all that will emerge is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of the known, and an incredible…

    Living on the gulf coast in the United states means that one faces the threat of the damaging effects of a massive hurricane. This was no different for the people of Galveston, Texas in the beginning of the 20th century. Galveston is situated in the southeastern part of Texas and sits on what is called a barrier island. Barrier Island formation is strongly influenced by four main factors: a low seabed gradient, shallow water depth, abundant existing sediment supply, and a moderate-to-strong storm climate (Pilkey et al., 2009). Galveston Island is considered an active island, meaning that is currently experiencing ongoing destruction (Pilkey et al., 2009).…

This storms are similar to each other, but have different factor on the way they form, how long they last, how strong the winds are, when do they occur, and what are the warning sings.
