"How a NASA–ESA Satellite Will Help Predict the Next Big Hurricane 🌪️🌊"

The upcoming launch of Sentinel‑6B, a joint mission by NASA and ESA, will do more than measure sea level—it may change how we forecast deadly hurricanes. By tracking subtle changes in sea surface height, scientists can detect ocean heat patterns that fuel rapid storm intensification—like what happened with Hurricane Milton in 2024.
This explores how this satellite works, why sea-level data matters for weather models, and how these insights could save billions of dollars and countless lives.
