Weather World with Nick Miller, where the team travel to Plymouth to | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
see how the ocean can help predict meteorological phenomena. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
This time on Weather World, we are going out to sea, about one hour in | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
that direction on this boat, to find out how they measure whether at sea, | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
and the state of the oceans, and why it is so important when it comes to | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
changes in our global climate. Also on Weather World... He needs to get | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
out. I know! Narrowly escapes. And dramatic rescues and extreme | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
weather. Flood, fire, and destruction, as record heat sweeps | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
the globe. Deadly lining in Europe. Sarah Keith-Lucas looks at the | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
storms and signs behind them. They brought several violent lightning | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
strikes to cities including Paris where there was at least one | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
fatality and many other people were injured, including several children. | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
Plus, inside of the wave factory, revealing the project to harness | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
energy from stormy seas. My word, if this was a real-world situation, I | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
would not be enjoying this one bit! And caught in a virtual storm, I'll | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
have a go at steering a ship to safe water. | :01:21. | :01:34. | |
Welcome to Weather World, I'm in Plymouth on the English south coast, | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
about to set sail into the English Channel on this research vessel, the | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Plymouth Quest. Our mission is to get up close to | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
whether equipment permanently out at sea, taking data about the weather | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
and the water is floating in. It is unusually windy here today, it | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
will be a rocky ride. I hope you're a good sailor, we are | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
about to find out if I am! Morning! We are sailing in one of two | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
research vessels operated by the Plymouth Marine laboratory, often in | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
daily use taking scientists to the English Channel to take measurements | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
from and maintain observing equipment permanently kept at sea. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
It is about a 60 minute voyage to reach the nearest of that equipment | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
and as we leave the coast behind, the waves get bigger. We are well | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
underway to our destination now, but already the boat is collecting | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
important information about this water we are going through. | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
I am in the fish hold, this was a fishing vessel, this is where the | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
cat would be kept. Now, scientific equipment is in | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
here. Water is being collected through this pipe, and pumped around | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
here, to this equipment on the wall here. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Firstly, water has the bubbles taken out, you don't want bubbles in the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
samples. Then we check how clear the water | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
is, how much chlorophyll is in the water, and then this checks for | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
dissolved oxygen. Finally, how much salt is in the sea | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
water we are travelling through. All of that information is coming in, | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
and we can now find out what it is telling us by going back upstairs. | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
The great thing about that equipment is down there is that we can see in | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
real time what it is telling us about the water we are moving | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
through at the moment as things get choppier and choppier! John Siddle | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
from the Met office is with us. This is what we are finding out from what | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
is down below? Yes, you can see the temperature of the water, as we move | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
through it, then visibility, oxygen and chlorophyll, they describe the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
cabbage -- chemistry and the biology of the system. How important is it | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
to have this from your perspective in the Met office? It is critical | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
for this information, for the research we do. We have a national | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
partnership prediction, which delivers to the laboratory in the | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
Met Office. We are trying to bring together the best scientists to give | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
a really good set of predictions for the ocean environment. And | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
predictions about the ocean environment, and what is going on | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
above the sea, and above land in the air, that is so important when it | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
comes to predicting what is happening with our climate and how | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
it will change in future. This year has been incredible in | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
terms of heat globally, setting new records. He needs to get out. I | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
know! So close to tragedy... You can't get out. A US TV news crew in | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Oklahoma rescue a man from a wildfire. Getting, hurry up!, one! | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
We've got to go! -- get in. -- come on. The flames chase them as they | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
just escape in time. Out of town just in time... This is insane. Who | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
can forget these terrifying apocalyptic scenes from the Canadian | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
town of Fort McMurray in May, as residents flee for their lives, | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
animals run from the forest. Burning embers fly through the air. | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
This is what the fire left behind. Some homes reduced to a mass of | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
melted metal and concrete. Despite destruction in some parts of the | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
town, officials said that, in all, almost 90% of buildings survive. In | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
August, last-minute escapes from the homes destroyed. This time in | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
California, east of Los Angeles. In India, pre-monsoon drought hit hard, | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
and the country recorded new national record high temperatures of | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
51 degrees, in Rajasthan, back in May. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
In Iraq, the air conditioning salesman tried to keep cool in | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
temperatures that soared to 54 degrees in Kuwait in July. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
Fire, drought heat waves, not unusual but against a backdrop of | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
record global heat so far this year. Over the last century, these years | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
have set new records. So far, 2016 is ahead of all others. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
After an hour at sea, we've reached our destination. The sea has got | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
rougher but we have made it and come to see this. This is a whether buoy. | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
This is one of yours, what is it doing out there? This is our weather | :06:29. | :06:37. | |
station, and it is measuring not only meteorological parameters but | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
oceanographic parameters on this buoy. Above water, we look at wind | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
speed and direction. Ed temperature and humidity, we are looking at | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
intensity of sunlight, light from the sun -- air temperature. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
And below, we look at sea surface temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
that gives an indication as to the plant life in the water, that is the | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
base of the food chain. Dissolved oxygen, and clarity of the water, | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
visibility. We had a plan to go on there today, but it is bopping about | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
and is too rough, but you do go one? Yes, for various reasons. Mainly | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
routine maintenance, to make sure everything is performing as it | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
should, collaborations on sensors, and we do find that we have growth | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
on the censors. If we lift the cage out of the water routinely -- so we | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
lift the cage out of the water routinely. | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
You can find something like this in every ocean in the world? Yes, with | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
weather forecasting, Ocean forecasting, predictions are key. To | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
measure what is going on. Global measurements are important to | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
balance global models and forecasts. Buoy systems like this are found all | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
over the world. James, it is excellent to see this, you take a | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
boat trip wherever you are, so keep an eye out for one of these. We are | :08:02. | :08:12. | |
able, with this equipment, to look at this. | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
bottom of these chips, of the bottom of these chips, of the | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
rosette sampler, they spring back on themselves to fill the bottle. We | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
trigger them at different depths, we can take a water sample at 40 | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
metres, bring it back on deck, and take a water sample to look out | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
nutrients, plankton, temperatures, for example. -- lookout. It tells | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
you about the state of the ocean? Yes, what the ecosystem is doing, | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
and what physics that govern it are going on. Let's have a look at it in | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
action. What is happening here is that Jim, on the left, he has taken | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
the top of the bottles, and Gary, now on the left, is taking off the | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
bottom. Effectively, we have empty chiefs. There it goes... Going over | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
the side, and then it is gone. When the rosette gets to a particular | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
depth, we can fire each of those bottles, so there are 12 bottles on | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
there at the moment. We can fire each of them individually at a | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
particular depth, take it as a water sample, it will come back on deck. | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
There are taps that we fill, with sample bottles. We can take them | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
back to the laboratory for analysis. Does it have to be calm to do this? | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Generally, yes, it's quite a dangerous operation. The waves crash | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
over the ship, and if the boat is moving around quite a bit, once you | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
have filled it with water, we have several tonnes of water there. It | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
can be very hazardous. We can see it again... With the sampling done, it | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
is time to head back to the harbour. Mission complete. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
But there's more to come from Plymouth, this time on land, later. | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
Now, some of your Weather Watcher pictures, starting with these | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
amazing images of a water spout from the south coast in July. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
It is a tornado that forms over the sea. The same weather system also | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
produced final clouds inland, these can sometimes go on to become | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
tornadoes. But, when it comes to tornadoes, | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
nowhere does them more powerfully than the USA. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Earlier in the summer, Dan Hollie Webb storm chasing there. | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
We are in Kansas, this is tornado number three. Look at the dust it is | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
kicking up, while! The United States are familiar with | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
tornadoes. We are quite a way away, quite safe. | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
In an average year, 1000 twisters on average touchdown across the | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
country. While they are stunning to look at, | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
they can be destructive. I spent most of the year forecasting | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
the weather in East Anglia, but for four weeks in May or June, I can be | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
found storm chasing with friends on the great plains of the USA. | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
People chase for different reasons. Some are therefore scientific | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
investigations, to collect data to understand tornadoes better. Others | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
work for local media, or the National Weather Service, reporting | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
back vital information about a tornado to help the public stay safe | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
and informed. There are many others like me with a | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
strong interest in the weather, and are there to experience first-hand | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
the true power were of mother nature. This year, we covered nearly | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
6000 miles of road in just 14 days. Our first Chase Day took us to | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
Kansas, with a stunning super cell near the town of Leota. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
It produced two brief tornadoes, there and gone in ten seconds. | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
Three days later, Dodge city Kansas narrowly avoided being hit by | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
several tornadoes produced by the same super cell. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
Still to come on Weather World... What do I do? Swim! Caught in the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
storm, flash floods and dramatic rescues. My car is under. We are | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
back on dry land after a rocky ride out to that whether buoy on the | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Plymouth Quest, at the hands of a skipper who knew what to do in rough | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
weather. And to navigate a ship in rough | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
weather is, you don't have to start at sea but here on land, at Plymouth | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
University. Through here... This looks like the | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
bridge of a ship, and it is incredibly realistic. | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
Looking out onto Plymouth Sound, where we were on the Plymouth Quest | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
boat. But this is actually a navigation | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
simulation, Tom Crichton is operating it now. | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
What is it, and what are you doing? At Plymouth University we use this | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
simulator to teach and educate seafarers on the navigation and | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
Maritime cause. We do basic navigation, collision avoidance, and | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
advanced techniques. Relatively calm conditions but this | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
can all change. At the click of a mouse! Let me show you. You take | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
control. I will do that... There we go. BC is getting rougher, white | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
tops on the waves, they are getting bigger. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
-- the sea. What is incredible, although this is a fixed simulator, | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
it is not moving around as you would imagine if you were on a flight | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
simulator. You feel like you want to sway a little to compensate for the | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
movement of this. Do you ever get people feeling queasy? Certainly. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Interestingly, because it is not a physical movement to back-up DC | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
motion, it is often the experience to see people who feel queasy | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
because the body does not get the corresponding movement of rain | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
expects. Does it get rougher? It does, I will | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
show you. Tom, give me all you've got! OK, be careful what you wish | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
for is the motto of that! My word, this has changed! 'S huge waves are | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
rolling around. I want to stay away from that lighthouse in front of | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
me... I feel very lucky that, to operate this, I'm very happy this is | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
a simulation and not a real-world simulation. | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
My word, if it was a real-world situation, I would not be enjoying | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
this one bit. Now, from simulating storms at sea, | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
to the real-life impact on the coast. | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
Australia in June, a storm combined with high tides that is the New | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
South Wales coastline with 12 metre high waves, leaving some beach near | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
collapse. In August, Scotland's windiest | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
summer day since 1988 saw this oil rig that had been on tone from | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
Norway to Malta blown ashore on the Isle of Lewis instead. | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
-- on tow. Later in the month, several people | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
died after getting into difficulty in or near stormy seas around the | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
British Isles. Storms that bring intense rain | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
inland producer affects hard to predict, and with little warning. | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
In the Macedonian capital, in August, these were the scenes. | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
A flash flood killed more than 20 people. | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
More than one months worth of rain fell in 24-hour is. | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
Tubular and seems in Nairobi, Kenya, in April when a baby is rescued from | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
a building that collapsed in flooding, but ten other people were | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
killed -- GP Lynne scenes. These scenes from China's province | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
in July showed the devastation that flooding can bring. | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
Seasonal rains in China where extreme, killing hundreds of people. | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
Some of the rescues and narrow escapes are caught on camera. What | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
do I do? In April on live television, this reporter pulled a | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
man to safety in Texas. In Maryland in August, onlookers | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
formed a human chain to rescue a woman whose car was being swept away | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
by rising flood water. West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
and Oklahoma are just some of the other states in the USA who have | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
seen deadly flash flooding in recent months. | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
Then this, in Louisiana in August, rescues came across a car. There is | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
someone still in it, sinking in the car. | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
Her story is a lucky one. Pulled to safety with seconds to | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
spare. With more than 100,000 homes affected by flooding, it has been | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
labelled the USA's worst natural disaster since hurricane Sandy in | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
2012. In India, Pakistan and here in Nepal | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
in July, from heat to flood, the monsoon brings essential rain but | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
flooding and lightning storms kill thousands. | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
Deadly lightning hits Europe as a pro you to the floods that inundated | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
the French capital of Paris in June -- pro nude. | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
Sarah Keith-Lucas has more on the storms and signs of lightning. | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
Here I am, on top of the recent BBC broadcasting above the headquarters | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
of the BBC weather Centre. Today, no thunder clouds in the sky | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
but just if you months ago, we had intense storms across central and | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
northern parts of Europe. -- a few. They brought violent | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
mining strikes to cities such as Paris, where there was at least one | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
fertility, and many others injured, including several children. | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
This bank in Paris turned into a temporary first aid centre for | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
emergency services. For adults and eight children took | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
shelter under a tree in the park. In Poland, a man descending a | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
mountain was killed, and in Germany, more than 30 people were taken to | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
hospital when lightning struck at the end of a children's football | :17:55. | :17:56. | |
match. We have no way of recording how many | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
lightning strikes reach the ground, but we can record the total number | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
of lightning flashes. In this instance, over 17,000 flashes of | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
lightning occurred in just one hour across northern Europe. | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
Let's look at the science of how thunderstorms form. | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
They are more common over the summer months when we have longer days, | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
more sunshine and no more energy in the atmosphere. | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
Initially, air close to the ground surface is one. | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
Comedy air rises and to as long as it is warmer than the heirs | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
surrounding it. As it rises, it cools, condenses, | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
and forms into a cloud. If conditions are right, cloud | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
continues to build, and build into Reiki Muller nimbus cloud, typically | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
up to a height of 20,000 -- 20 5000 feet. | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
These clouds give us under and lightning. Within that cloud, we get | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
our draft and downdraught of air. The updraughts carry water droplets | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
high into the top of the cloud where it is very cold. | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
They freeze into ice crystals or hail. | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
As we zoom into the cloud, those ice particles move around and bump into | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
one another. The lighter and positively charged | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
particles are carried to the top of the cloud, while the heavier and | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
negatively charged hail collector at the base. The negative charge at the | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
base of the cloud is attracted to the positive charge, within the | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
cloud, within nearby clouds, and with positively charged ground | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
surface below. When the attraction is great enough, | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
they meet and discharge. So, lightning is a huge electrical | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
spark, caused by the movement of negative charge from one place to | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
the other. As ever in the heats and expands, | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
due to the lining, it creates the accompanying rumble of thunder. | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
-- lightning. Joining me to tell us more about | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
these thunderstorms is Chloe more from the Royal meteorological | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
Society. Welcome. We heard one person died in | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
France, several others were injured in Germany, is that unusual? | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
That episode occurred at the weekend, meaning many other people | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
were outdoors and at risk of being struck by lightning. | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
In Germany, and usually it was a bolt from the blue lightning, so | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
there were clear skies and no ominous clouds. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
The lightning had travelled 25 miles from its source, so people were | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
surprised. That's why there were so many | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
injuries. So if you do find yourself stuck in a thunderstorm, do you have | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
any advice as to how to reduce your risk of being struck? In wide-open | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
spaces, seek shelter, whether it is inside of a building or vehicle. | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
If you can't, make yourself low on the ground, tuck your head in, and | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
reduce your height. Thank you for joining us. As summer rolls into | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
autumn in the northern hemisphere, we should get out of this season of | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
intense thunderstorms. But in the southern hemisphere, | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
thunderstorm season is about to begin. | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
Severe weather is of course best avoided, but what if you can harness | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
the power of a storm and turn it to your advantage? | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
That is exactly what they can do here. Welcome to Plymouth | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
University's Coast laboratory and wave generator. | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
They make waves here. These paddles can produce any sort of waveform and | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
generate NEC state, recreating conditions at sea. But in this | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
accurate scaled-down environment they can run controlled experiments | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
to understand the interaction between DC and our coasts. | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
A new invention is being tested here now, the wave cat. It would float | :21:39. | :21:47. | |
off the coast with waste going over its arms, collecting data, and | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
generating electricity. The professor of this laboratory | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
says that by producing energy, wave cat can work as a coastal defence | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
against stormy seas. To see this kind of device in operation, there | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
would be a number arranged together. We would have a wave farm of energy | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
devices operating together along the coastline. By extracting the energy | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
to generate electricity, they are taking energy out of the wave | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
climate. To do that, it means that there is less of the wave energy | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
interacting with the coastline. Bigger storms are often treated | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
negatively in discussion. But, clearly what we are seeing here, is | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
something that is an opportunity. Yes, the opportunity in more | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
energetic sea states and storms, there is more energy in the ocean | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
than can be extracted. If we design devices to extract under those | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
conditions, to convert the electricity, we can bring in a new | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
renewable energy source. Talking of renewable energy, they've made it. | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
Solar impulse touches down in Abu Dhabi in July. After taking off | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
there in March last year. The first around the world solar | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
powered flight is finally complete after a 17 stage journey covering | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
four continents. Setting 19 official aviation | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
records. The pilots from Switzerland | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
experienced the climax of a project aimed at promoting renewable energy. | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
When roads become rivers, what are you going to do? Wake boarding, | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
obviously! One-man's answer to the travel chaos caused by flooding in | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
Moscow in August. That's it for this time on Weather | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
World. We are back in December. Until then, | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
whether you're weather is at sea or on land, keep checking your weather | :23:51. | :23:51. | |
forecast. Friday was a glorious data across | :23:52. | :24:28. | |
much of the country, warm sunshine and lots of dry weather too. It -- | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
day across. On Saturday, we will see some | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
outbreaks of rain across | :24:37. | :24:38. |
