Project Stormwater: The Collection of Bathythermographic Data and Airborne Radiation Sea Surface Temperature Measurements in the Wake of Hurricane Irah.
Abstract
Sea surface temperatures collected in the wake of Hurricane Irah indicated that no cold water upwelling was observed at the surface. This absence of upwelling indicates that the effects of the speed and intensity of a storm on the thermocline depth are not clearly understood and need further study. The failure of the telemetry systems between the AXBT and the receiver in the aircraft resulted in a considerable loss of data. New developments in these systems have been made which have corrected these deficiencies. Further developments offer a wide range of depth capabilities from 1,500 ft. to 6,000 ft. Also the calibration for the new probes is quite stable eliminating the necessity for individual calibrations.
