Hurricane Detectives: Diving into the Ocean’s Secrets Students will study hurricanes by integrating various elements such as tracking, upwellings, Chlorophyll-a, and GO-BGC floats to gather and analyze data.In this lesson, students will study hurricanes by integrating various elements such as tracking, upwellings, Chlorophyll-a, and the use of GO-BGC floats to gather and analyze data. Students will use real-world data and understand how these elements can be used to analyze hurricanes in different oceanic zones as well as different ocean basins.
