Scientists may fin -ally understand more about hurricanes.

This summer, researchers at the University of Delaware are experimenting with using sharks to predict the intensity of hurricanes as they approach the East Coast.

They are attaching electronic tags to the fish, which collect data such as ocean temperature and salinity measurements from the Atlantic Ocean that otherwise prove challenging and pricey to monitor.

This could lead them to gain more knowledge on the Mid-Atlantic’s “cold pool,” a layer of bottom water under 50 degrees Fahrenheit that forms in spring and disappears in fall — which can determine how fast hurricanes intensify.
