Issue: Global
Summary:
Scientists are coming out with systems and models that can more accurately depict wave heights, factoring in the variation according to season, in which winter waves are much more powerful. For example, in a place where an average wave height is 4m during the summer, then the wave height could be up to 7m during the winter! However, across the planet, there are tons of areas that may have multiple wave peak periods and they need to be accounted for. The new systems are needed to help determine what's going on with waves across the world; the information is important to know.
Opinion:
I agree with the fact that we need to know what's going on in our oceans at all times. Without the proper technology, people could end up getting hurt or killed due to improper reading of waves. We don't want to put our people in unneeded danger.
