This lesson from Science NetLinks is the second in a two-part series on the science of hurricanes and the kinds of technology being used to identify and track them. In this lesson, students' study of hurricanes is broadened by exploring how technology and science are used today to identify, measure, and track powerful tropical storms to better warn and secure people from their often-devastating impact.
