White Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:27:36 +0000 http://crunchgear.com/2006/08/14/anti-hurricaine-grid-computing/#comment-891841 I just thought of something that we should all consider very carefully! Everybody knows how hurricanes are formed, (warm air rises from ocean waters until enormous amounts of heated moist air are twisted high in the atmosphere). From dah’ WEB I found, ‘As long as the hurricane remains over waters of 79F or warmer, it continues to pull moisture from the surface and grow in size and force. When a hurricane crosses land or cooler waters, it loses its source of power, and its wind gradually slow until they are no longer of hurricane force-- . . .’ We already know that hurricanes cause millions of dollars of damage every year, & we already spend millions tracking & monitoring them. What happens if we dump planeloads of ice blocks into the ocean water within the eye of the hurricane? Any rising air would be cooler & we could monitor the resulting wind speed ‘to see if we could detect any lessoning of wind speed’. It may be a waste of money, but we would know immediately if the concept worked! If a hurricane that had ‘90MPH wind speed was predicted to do XXX millions of dollars damage’, what happens if the wind speed is reduced 2MPH to 88MPH, (or 86MPH or 84MPH)? We would have a method of tracking the costs versus predicted damages! I just thought of something that we should all consider very carefully!
