AustraliaResearchers in Australia are using deep-diving sea turtles equipped with oceanographic sensors to improve tropical cyclone forecasting. These turtles, including olive ridley and flatback species, carry miniaturized GPS tags and temperature-measuring devices that collect data on ocean temperatures beneath the surface. This data helps scientists understand how cyclones interact with ocean temperatures, particularly the formation of 'cool wakes' where surface waters cool after a storm passes. Traditional methods of ocean monitoring are limited in remote and storm-prone regions, making the turtles an innovative solution. The project involves multiple research institutions and Indigenous partners, aiming to enhance forecasting accuracy and improve disaster preparedness.
