Sounding, what's the impact of technological advances on weather measurement, since technology is only about 50 years old, assuming mass technology started in the 70's? I was still doing slide rule calcs/ math tables / celestial navigation table lookups in the 70s.
To say that the hurricane data of 2020's has never been seen since records started in the early 1900s, when hurricane data was collected by barometers on ocean going ships, with rules to sail away from the center based upon barometric readings. survival bias scientific analysis? when did hurricane hunting weather measurements start? When did geostationary satellite weather imaging first start?
Modern weather stats are only comparable for about 70 years old at best. .
