Buoys Launched to Study Typhoons off Coast of Taiwan

Caption

An international team of scientists from the University of Miami, the University of Leeds, WHOI, and Environment Canada are participating in a groundbreaking study to help better understand interactions between the ocean and atmosphere during typhoons. The researchers are using a boat-shaped EASI (Extreme Air-Sea Interaction) buoy and an ASIS (Air-Sea Interaction Spar) buoy to gather data. The project is being funded by the US Office of Naval Research.
