This episode is the second half of the story that we started last time. About the team trying to make really accurate forecasts of the weather and ocean circulation in Prince William Sound, Alaska.
Leslie Abramson from the Prince William Sound Science Center went up to the Sound to help collect data in the field. While she was up there, she took a bunch of audio recordings for us. Stay tuned, and hear the science in action.
