Brian Haus, director of the Surge-Structure-Atmosphere Interaction, or SUSTAIN, lab, stands underneath the storm simulation tank during a demonstration at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science in Miami. The lab features a clear acrylic tank 20 meters long and 6 meters high. Inside, 38,000 gallons of seawater can be whipped into white-capped waves by a 1400-horsepower fan that can create conditions as frenzied as a Category 5 hurricane. By observing up close how hurricane-force winds interact with spray coming off seawater, researchers aim to improve real tropical storm observations made by satellites, ocean buoys and drones and other sensors launched from “hurricane hunter” aircraft.
