If all papers, books and newspaper gradually go digital, just electric charges or magnetic blips in racks - few thousand years down the road our civilization would be virtually traceless or at least those parts of it.
Nothing is forever. Just a random thought.

This headline could really use the word "hurricane" in it. I had no idea what Otis or Acapulco were, and my initial guess was wildly off: some sort of space probe experienced a catastrophic failure on the way to an asteroid.

I think you mean Joules? A Watt is a joule of energy transferred over one second, i.e. they're a rate .
Feel free to take it up with the scientists who study and discuss radiative forcing in units of watts/m^2
Thank you for a new term to research :)
We did find clay tablets with inscriptions from earlier civilizations.

there is already a very good theory. see this interview with an expert from Yale: https://youtu.be/CSVFpval4Dw?si=oelutbqzOGcpI8gm tldr: garbage data into the model, garbage out. Detailed summary from interview: • only 1 hurricane hunter flight was done into this storm. • mexican hurricanes just don’t get as much reporting coverage (historically). For example for atlantic hurricanes, NOAA hurricane hunter airplanes h…
Does Acapulco airport not have radar because the ATC for that part of Mexico is at Mazatlán?

> So how did every reliable model we use miss this? That’s for graduate students and researchers to answer in the coming years, because I have no formal idea. Would love to see followup on this. Wish there were some way to like bookmark or something and come back in a few years.

Otis is the name of one of the Fat Bear Week audience favorites so that was where my first thoughts went but I was very surprised to imagine an “Acapulco, Alaska” near where he lives.

I'm one of the researchers on a new disease forecasting project, and I'm bookmarking this because we often use hurricane forecasting as an example of a level of accuracy we aspire to, so this is a really interesting breakdown.
What forecasting models / techniques are prevalent in disease forecasting?
