Which sea has no shore?

The Sargasso Sea has no outer shore. This is an object in the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by different Atlantic currents. It owes its name to the huge concentrations of brown algae sargassum.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

GPS signal will measure wind speed over water 02.08.2013

Winds over oceans and lakes can be tracked by reflecting GPS signals. This will help meteorologists more accurately predict the weather and, in particular, catastrophic events such as tornadoes. On a global scale, NASA experts hope to better understand our planet's climate with a new method of measuring wind speeds.

Accurate weather prediction and climate modeling requires accurate knowledge of wind strength at various altitudes, or at least near the surface. On land, this task is more or less performed by simple weather stations, but over the oceans, over the "kitchen" of the world climate, it is more difficult to make measurements. Usually, disposable probes dropped from aircraft are used for this. However, these probes are not cheap: $750 each, and in fact, during a typical mission, a "hurricane hunter" consumes about 20 of these probes.

It is clear that to obtain a pattern of winds over a large area, dropped probes are not enough. To solve this problem, NASA has developed monitoring technology that measures wind speed by bouncing GPS satellite signals off sea waves. The accuracy of such a measurement is 10 times lower than that of drop probes, which are only 0,5 m/s wrong. At the same time, analysis of the reflection of GPS signals from waves makes it possible to monitor vast areas in real time, which is very important for forecasting hurricanes.

Thanks to GPS, you can now follow the winds without dropping sensors. Wind data can be collected from aircraft and satellites. Specifically, in 2016, NASA plans to launch a system of small satellites called CYGNSS that will measure GPS returns from low orbit. This will allow forecasting the movement of storm fronts. In the future, in addition to GPS signals, it will be possible to use TV broadcast signals from powerful satellite transmitters such as DirecTV and Sirius XM for monitoring.

Thus, extremely powerful satellites provide scientists with "free" monitoring of the oceans, which until now has been an extremely difficult task. All you need is a GPS receiver, some chips and some software. All this costs several hundred dollars.
