Briefings

A new study published in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society evaluated the impact of drifting buoys during Storm Harry, an extreme event in the Mediterranean Sea in January 2026. The research demonstrates that these buoys significantly improved early forecasts by supplying atmospheric data from sparsely measured areas, though the study remains limited to this specific event and does not generalize findings to other storms.

Key points

• The study assessed the impact of drifting buoys during Storm Harry, an extreme event in the Mediterranean Sea in January 2026.

Context and limitations

The findings are specific to Storm Harry and do not generalize to other storms.
