I thought of this idea because the thirty year old data I thought of this idea because the thirty year old data would be a good indicator to see if more storms are would be a good indicator to see if more storms are occurring off the coast. occurring off the coast.
This data will show the trends over time of wave This data will show the trends over time of wave heights and wind speeds, which will show if there is heights and wind speeds, which will show if there is an increase in storms from global warming. an increase in storms from global warming.
My job shadowing was based on the oceanic topic of My job shadowing was based on the oceanic topic of my topic and also showed me the importance of data my topic and also showed me the importance of data use .use .
Does your product fill a information Does your product fill a information gap? gap?
My product does fill an information gap My product does fill an information gap because if the graph has an increasing slope it because if the graph has an increasing slope it can be said that global warming is a driving can be said that global warming is a driving force. Even if the slope is negative it shows force. Even if the slope is negative it shows that global warming is not a driving force in that global warming is not a driving force in the changes in wind speed and wave height. the changes in wind speed and wave height.
