gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-21 01:20:15

These uncrewed ships sail into the hearts of tropical storms to collect real-time data that scientists use to predict their strength and path. For the past four years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has deployed Saildrones to improve the accuracy of its hurricane forecasts and warnings.

The clock just never seems to run out for TikTok.
