Scientists have discovered that hurricanes create characteristic seismic and acoustic signals during their landfall. These signals are caused by turbulent air movement and its interaction with the Earth's surface. Research published in Science magazine in August 2026 shows that these seismoacoustic imprints can be recorded and analyzed using specialized measuring equipment. The discovered patterns allow for better understanding of the physical processes occurring during a hurricane. These findings may contribute to improved prediction of hurricane behavior and its impact on land. The study represents a new approach to monitoring and analyzing extreme weather events.
