Hurricane anti-fuel
Description: Meteorologists have hypothesized that ventilation, the injection of cooler and drier air into the core of a tropical cyclone, can significantly lessen the cyclone's intensity. On a quest to further understand this phenomenon, scientists used a hurricane model to determine how much ventilation is needed to weaken a tropical cyclone and where this is most likely to happen within it.
