While the cyclone terrorized the coast, the scientists aboard deployed an Array of current meters and weather buoys. The data they relayed in real-time was the only precise information India had about the cyclone’s internal pressure and ocean heat content. That data saved thousands of lives by improving the accuracy of the evacuation forecasts. The Daughter of the Ocean had become a mother to the nation.
