After reading Scott L. Key's "Treasure Hunters", Harriet Jane Caldwell's "Weather Reconnaissance", and Juan De Los Santos's "Seach for ancient Civilizations", I have concluded that the most advanced technology for researchers and explorers today is found in Harriet Jane Caldwell's piece. Caldwell talks about the job of hurricane hunters, weather disocveries, and other important pieces of technology that we use each and every day. Now, what makes this passage include the most adavanced technology for reserachers, explorers, and you?
Passage one, "Treasure Hunters", talks about treasure discoveries undersea. Many treasures were found in Florida, which has a large body of water surrounding its coast. However, during the 16th, 17th, and …show more content…
An ariplane called AT-6, which happens to be a two-passenger fighter plane, was the first airplane ever to be flown into a hurricane. This airplane and the people within it, led to a great deal of exploration. Within altitudes of 1,000 feet through 10,000 feet, the hurricane hunters travel through the eye, the calmest part of the hurricane, the eye wall, the roughest part of a hurricane, and the spiral rain bands, which have heavy showers of rain that swirl inward. These airplanes gather data which is sent to weather stations. With this data, researchers can gather the conditions of the hurricane including miles per hour, location, or time and place of its landfall, and descibes how serious a hurricane is. While up in the atmosphere, the airplane drops "dropsondes", which fall into the ocean and gives out data which is then sent to reseachers and explorers. The dropsondes give information on temeprature, humidity, atmopsheric pressure, and last but not least, speed and direction of winds. All of the information included was found within this passage. Also, this information can be put together to lead to reseach of hurricanes.
In my opinion, all three passages give good information on technology, although, passage two gives the most advance technology for reseachers and explorers today. I feel that the information included leads to a very important set of discoveries, as well as gives information to researchers, explorers, and to yourself, that way you can have information on serious hurricanes for your own
