SUMMARY:Evening @ Skidaway - Hurricane Gliders
DESCRIPTION:The models hurricane forecasters use to predict the paths of storms have become much more accurate in recent years\, but they still aren’t great at accurately predicting a storm’s intensity. Now\, underwater gliders\, operated by researchers at the University of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography\, are part of a national effort to use marine robots to improve the accuracy of storm forecast models. \nUGA Skidaway Institute research technician Ben Hefner launches a glider into the ocean. Photo courtesy MADLAWMEDIA. \nUGA Skidaway Institute researcher Catherine Edwards will discuss her work with marine robots in an Evening @ Skidaway program titled “Hurricane Gliders – Using Ocean Robots to Improve Tropical Storm Forecasts” on Tuesday\, Sept. 10\, in the McGowan Library on the University of Georgia Skidaway Marine Science Campus (10 Ocean Science Circle\, Savannah\, GA 31411). The event will begin with a reception at 6:30 p.m.\, followed by the program at 7 p.m. \nThe program is open to the public\, and admission is free. Space is limited. To reserve a seat\, please call (912) 598-2325 or email mike.sullivan@skio.uga.edu.
