Making a Hurricane Indoors (For Science)
Season 10
Episode 6
Hurricanes, typhoons, and tropical cyclones are Earth’s most powerful storms. As climate change warms Earth’s oceans, we face more risk of storms rapidly intensifying into category 5, sometimes in less than a single day. So in order to improve our understanding of hurricanes, scientists have built a machine that can create hurricane conditions indoors.
