Science vs. Nature
What is weather? Weather is the heat of the sun that shines through a window. It is the mist on a foggy morning. It can also be a deadly storm that wipes away a house. Weather is not something people can control but that does not mean that they can not protect themselves from it. That is why we have technology. Using weather instruments such as radars, satellites, and computers, forecasters can predict when and where certain storms will occur. Throughout the years protecting ourselves from violent storms has become less difficult due to science. We use weather technology to track and measure storms. "Airplanes are regularly used for weather research and to gather data on hurricanes. From time to time, airplanes are sent out to observe storms over the Atlantic or Pacific that could affect the USA." Airplanes observe storms over the oceans and judge weather or not it can harm the people in cities and towns around it (William). But it would waste a huge amount of time for airplanes to travel across the world just to observe the weather in other foreign countries. So we use weather radars. "These devices, which include weather satellites, measure things that are relatively far away - a few to more than 100 miles away for radar, thousands of miles away for satellites." Instead of flying to places we can just use a radar to detect climate that is too far away (William). Adopting these advanced technologies makes it easier for forecasters to predict the weather and helps us prepare for the most trechorous storms. Speaking of preparing for dangerous storms, handling these instruments has also helped save the lives of thousands of citizens. Many people have lost friends and relatives to weather's most destructive storms. But technology has found a way to change that. "Numerical weather prediction models are designed to calculate what the atmosphere will do at certain points over a large area, from the Earth's surface to
