Hurricane Sandy Breakthrough By: Kene Ochuba Date: Friday November 6, 2015 Hurricane Sandy was a devastating storm nicknamed “The Frankenstorm”. The Frankenstorm happened from October 19-October 31. Hurricane Sandy was very catastrophic and damaged lots of properties. The cost of repairs was billions of dollars. Hurricane Sandy is the second most costly hurricane behind hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Sandy at night on October 28, 2015. Hurricanes are large gusts of wind that are concentrated usually
Ocean You Glad You Survived? If you were thrown overboard a ship and had to survive in the freezing water of the Atlantic Ocean, how would you do it? How would you survive that? Anyone to ask me that question would receive a strained, “I don’t know?”, accompanied by an odd look. What person goes through that and lives? In The Speck of the Sea by Paul Tough, he details for us the experience of John Aldridge; a middle-age fisherman from Montauk who with only the clothes on his back and his brain
Obviously nets, buoys, and lines are regularly let loose by fishermen. Ghost nets are often found throughout the ocean. Ghost nets are fishing gear, that are found drifting through the ocean. These nets can be extremely harmful towards many species in the open ocean. However;
dresses and extravagant costumes. She would often embellish them, to make her stand out more than she already did. Lila, being the queen of the galaxies, lived in perfect bliss. She would frolic along the lands of her rule, fly through the cosmos, and buoy the spirits of the Starlets with her joy. One day, Lira received news that baffled her, she heard that her planet would soon be attacked by the evil monster, Ragnor. The Starlet of security, Luma, admonished Lila of where Ragnor was planning to attack
The Saco-Casco Bays, in the southern Maine are susceptible to coastal inundation due to the influence of winter storms. High-resolution storm surge modeling based on Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model has been setup for the Saco-Casco Bays for conducting ensemble hindcast simulation of winter storm Juno. The model is one-way nested with the Northeast Coastal Ocean Forecast System (NECOFS) and driven by high resolution NECOFS/WRF and moderate resolution NAM WRF to understand the impact of wind speed
How The Forked River Tuna Club Scholarship will help me further my educational and career goals in the marine or environmental sciences or a related field. As I started my search for a college, I began to wonder what career field I would enter. I have always enjoyed building computers and coding, but while attending MATES (Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science), I also developed a passion for the Earth and the animals encompassed in its environment. After much research I arrived
and people don’t realize it, the biggest problem is what we throw stuff in the water and we don’t realize what we are causing by us doing that. For example, in California they have rescue a blue whale that was tangled up a 200-foot line that had a buoy attached to it. There are two major concerns regarding these interactions. First, direct encounters with wildlife may not positively
particularly warm which leads to colds. The other issue is water based predators waiting for idiots to swim in their waters. This is why they post “lifeguards” to watch out for sharks. While there are preventative measures like nets around the water and buoys, the navy still takes measures to spot for threats such as sharks and migrating hordes of jellyfish waiting to devour a human being. However, if this happens then the swim call is called off and only those who were ahead of the line manage to have
Ocean wave energy is read either in gigawatt-hours (GWh) or in terawatt-hours/year (TWh/yr). There are three types of wave energy technologies. The first type uses the rise and fall of the ocean swells that generate electricity through floats, buoys, or pitching devices to drive hydraulic pumps. The second type uses the rise and fall of water that is within a cylindrical shaft to generate electricity through an air driven turbine. These are also known as oscillating water column
sentences, review paragraph, vocabulary that will be more effective as a writer but also as a reader. Revising is a way to recognized flaws in your writing that will make your writing weak and compromise the ideas you will like further to reflect. Buoy! If you read my papers you will know, I am a work in progress…LOL (Laugh Out Loud). But the possibilities are at large. Mistakes I am the Queen of writing mistakes, not by self-acknowledge facts, but for a reasoning that goes beyond. What it is? Well
