Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] A case study of the Hurricane


Hello all,



I've put together videos from hurricane Irma that I think work well with the last Outcome.



It covers things such as

  *   the early predictions and how they evolved
  *   the various models (the UK model was more accurate than the USA model)
  *   The importance of correct data - some of the disaster preparation and warnings
  *   The actual computer that was used for the modelling in the UK (a huge, recently completed Cray supercomputer)
  *   The various pieces of equipment used to collect the data
  *   How this equipment connects to the supercomputers


Because I've embedded the videos, the powerpoint is HUGE.
