In these three passages; "Florida Waters Treasure Hunters" by Scott L. Key; "Weather Reconnaissance" by Harriet Jane Caldwell; and "Search For Ancient Civilization" by Juan De Los Santos, they all share a similarity. They share similarities of finding hidden treaure, also where and when storms are going to hit and ancient civilizations. But they also have differences like what tehnology they use to find those things. I think that in the passage "Search for Ancient Civilization" they used the best advanced technology to find their objects. Their device that they use is very much like a lawn mower called the GPR.…

Search and Rescue in the Florida Everglades Search and Rescue (SAR) in the Florida Everglades provides a unique challenge due to the remote location and operations can often only be attempted by boat or aircraft. A suitable replacement for manned aircraft in these search and rescue operations could be a quad rotor unmanned aerial system (UAS). Manned aircraft, whether fixed wing or helicopters, are expensive to fly and maintain. A fleet of small quad rotor UAS equipped with a SAR specific sensor loadout, could be carried on boats and deployed on location to provide support (“S9 SAR”, n.d.)…

A hurricane, by definition, is a tropical cyclone with strong winds spiraling inward and upward and speeds ranging from 75 mph to 200 mph. Hurricanes emerge from the Atlantic basin, which consists of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, the northeastern Pacific Ocean, and, less often, the central north Pacific Ocean. Most hurricanes follow a similar cycle of development. Some may run their course in as little as a day or as long as a month. They weaken and are transformed into extratropical cyclones after prolonged contact with the colder ocean waters of the middle latitudes, and they rapidly decay after moving over land areas.…
