Kuza kufakelwa izixhobo zokuvavanya ulwandle kunxweme lwaseHull ukuze kuqokelelwe idatha, kujongwe ukunyuka kolwandle

Ngobusuku bangoLwesibini, iBhodi yoLondolozo lweHull ivumile ngazwi linye ukuba kufakwe izixhobo zokuvavanya amanzi kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo ezikunxweme lwaseHull ukuze kujongwe ukunyuka komgangatho wolwandle.

I-WHOI ikholelwa ukuba iHull ikulungele ukuvavanya izixhobo zokuvavanya amanzi kuba iindawo ezihlala elunxwemeni zisengozini kwaye zibonelela ngethuba lokuqonda ngcono imiba yezikhukula zasekuhlaleni.

Izinzwa zamanzi, ekulindeleke ukuba zincede izazinzulu ukuba zilandelele ukunyuka kolwandle kwiindawo ezikunxweme lwaseMassachusetts, zityelele iHull ngo-Epreli zaza zasebenzisana noChris Krahforst, umlawuli wezokulungiswa kwemozulu nokugcinwa kwayo kwisixeko, ukuze zichonge iindawo apho iHull iza kubeka khona ezi sensor.
Amalungu ekomiti awabonanga miphumo mibi ekufakweni kwezi sensors.

Ngokutsho kukaDas, ukufaka izixhobo zokubona amanzi edolophini kuya kuvala umsantsa phakathi kwabanye abantu abathi kukho izikhukula ezindlwini zabo kunye nee-gauge zamanzi ezikhoyo ze-NOAA, ezingenalo unxibelelwano noko uluntu lukubonayo.
“Zimbalwa kakhulu iigeyiji zokulinganisa amaza kulo lonke elaseMantla-mpuma, kwaye umgama phakathi kweendawo zokujonga mkhulu,” utshilo uDas. “Kufuneka sisebenzise iisensa ezingaphezulu ukuqonda amanqanaba amanzi ngomlinganiselo ophantsi.” Kwanoluntu oluncinci lunokutshintsha; Isenokungabi sisiganeko esikhulu sesiphango, kodwa siya kubangela izikhukula.

I-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's tide gauge ilinganisa inqanaba lamanzi rhoqo ngemizuzu emithandathu. I-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration inee-tide gauges ezintandathu eMassachusetts: iWoods Hole, iNantucket, iChatham, iNew Bedford, iFall River kunye neBoston.

Amanqanaba olwandle eMassachusetts anyuke ngee-intshi ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu ukusukela ngo-2022, “okukhawulezileyo kakhulu kunezinga eliqhelekileyo elibonwe kwiminyaka engamashumi amathathu edlulileyo.” Elo nani livela kwiimilinganiselo ezivela kwiigauge zeWoodhull kunye neNantucket tide.
Xa kufikwa ekunyukeni kolwandle, uDas uthi, lutshintsho olukhawulezileyo ekungalinganini oluqhuba isidingo sokuqokelelwa kwedatha engaphezulu, ingakumbi ukuqonda indlela olu nqanaba lokwanda oluya kuyichaphazela ngayo imvula kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo.
Ezi sensor ziza kunceda uluntu oluselunxwemeni ukuba lufumane idatha yendawo enokusetyenziswa ukunciphisa umngcipheko wezikhukula.
“Siphi na apho sineengxaki khona? Ndiyifuna phi idatha engaphezulu? Iziganeko zemvula ziveliswa njani xa kuthelekiswa nokugeleza kwamanzi emilanjeni okongezelelweyo, xa kuthelekiswa nemimoya evela empuma okanye eNtshona? Yonke le mibuzo yesayensi inceda abantu baqonde ukuba kutheni izikhukula zenzeka kwiindawo ezithile kwaye kutheni zitshintsha.” “Utshilo uDarth.
UDas ubonise ukuba kwimeko yemozulu efanayo, uluntu olunye eHull lunokukhukula ngelixa olunye lungenakukhukula. Ezi sensor zamanzi ziya kubonelela ngeenkcukacha ezingabanjwanga yinethiwekhi karhulumente, ejonga ukunyuka kolwandle kwinxalenye encinci yonxweme lwelizwe.
Ukongeza, uDas uthe, abaphandi banemilinganiselo emihle yokunyuka komgangatho wolwandle, kodwa abanayo idatha ngeziganeko zezikhukula zaselunxwemeni. Abaphandi banethemba lokuba ezi sensors ziya kuphucula ukuqonda kwenkqubo yezikhukula, kunye neemodeli zokwaba izixhobo kwixesha elizayo.
