A Chinese research team has developed an unmanned submarine capable of launching a weather surveillance rocket that can directly collect typhoon data from the sea into the sky.
When the typhoon comes, you can see the reporter on the TV screen, relaying the scene even in heavy rain. Of course, it can be dangerous, but it can help you know what the typhoon really is. However, it is difficult to know this detailed situation if the typhoon does not come close. If such monitoring is possible from the time of the sea, it will be much better to take measures.
The meteorological monitoring rocket developed by China is like a weather station originally located on a high-rise building. It is mounted on a small rocket and launched at 8,000m above the air, measuring the air temperature, humidity, air pressure, and wind, measuring weather data, and sending it to the ground.
These rockets haven’t existed before, but they were usually launched from ground labs and observation stations. In this way, even if a rocket is launched from a ground research institute, it is difficult to observe a typhoon occurring at sea in advance. In addition, observation devices are installed on devices such as hot air balloons, but hot air balloons are not suitable for observing typhoons because they are swept by the wind.
On the other hand, an unmanned submarine can move to the middle of a typhoon by submerging underwater, which is less affected by the weather even if it rains or winds. Of course, since the rocket is launched right above the sky, it can send real information. In addition to weather information, China is strengthening its exploration activities, such as exploring the seabed of the Mariana Trench. Related information can be found here .
