Hurricane prep 2021: ‘Near Shore Experiment’ proves scientists still don’t have a clue!

Image

“To better protect our coastal communities we need to better model, understand and predict the complex and dynamic nearshore environment.”-Brittany Bruder, U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center

Duck, North Carolina, where a major weather research project has been ongoing since 2019.

It has been more than 130 years since modern weather science started, yet even after decades of collecting hurricane data within the United States, scientists still don’t understand the weather!

An ancient U.S. Army Corps of Engineers LARC-V is used to carry a remote control boat (oceanographic research drone) for the DuNEx.

An attempt to rectify that will officially begin in Autumn 2021, on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is called the During Nearshore Event Experiment (DuNEx), or DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX), being conducted by the U.S. Coastal Research Program.  It would’ve happened sooner but there was a “…delay in their planning and preparation for the upcoming… …DUNEX field experiment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.” 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo.

Preparations for DuNEx 2021 have been ongoing since 2019, and the whole thing is not expected to conclude until Winter 2022!  The goal is to be better able to predict what a storm will do, and to advise coastal communities on short-term and long-term plans of action.

GIDE-3/ADE-5 began on 09JUL2021, in Michigan. It involves A-10Cs of the Michigan Air National Guard (107th Fighter Squadron), F-16s of the Ohio ANG (112th FS), U.S. Air Force (USAF) T-38 Talons, Sentinel radar systems from the North Dakota Army National Guard (188th Air Defense Artillery Regiment), remote control helicopters (small R/C drones), a portable data broadcast system mounted on a Toyota Tacoma known as Cell On Light Truck (COLT), a portable ‘all-domain command and control advanced battle management system’ known as an Anduril Industries tower, an ‘enhanced’ cyber communications system called a Flyaway Kit, something called a Yoda Box which I have yet to find an explanation for what the Yoda Box is, except it might be connected to the now infamous Starlink satellite system (of which I warned about last year).

In August 2017, the Illinois and Idaho ANGs deployed their DRMKTs to the Crow Reservation in Montana.  Over several weeks, the Illinois and Idaho ANGs fed Montana Guard personnel working to build new housing on the Crow Reservation: “You can do just about anything you can do on base in this kitchen. We’ve got two full ovens, flattop grill, a stockpot station, a three-compartment sink and then a tray ration heater which can also double as making pasta or boiling water, or whatever else you need it for.”-Staff Sergeant Christopher Leigh, Montana ANG

National Guard units using the DRMKT after Hurricane Maria claimed they could serve 8-hundred meals per day.  If there are a mass of people to feed then up to 1-thousand meals per 90 minutes can be achieved, but only by using ‘boil-in-bag’ meals (basically MREs).
