NASA, NOAA: Newest GOES Satellite Ready For Action
|
|
NASA and NOAA's latest Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, GOES-15, has successfully completed five months of on-orbit testing and has been accepted into service. The satellite has demonstrated operational readiness of its subsystems, spacecraft instruments and communications services. GOES-15 is the third and final spacecraft in the GOES N-P Series of geostationary environmental weather satellites.

NASA/NOAA Study Finds El Niños Growing Stronger
|
|
A relatively new type of El Niño, which has its warmest waters in the central-equatorial Pacific Ocean, rather than in the eastern-equatorial Pacific, is becoming more common and progressively stronger, according to a new study by NASA and NOAA. The research may improve our understanding of the relationship between El Niños and climate change, and has potential significant implications for long-term weather forecasting.

NOAA, SeaWeb Partner to Communicate the Value of Coral Reefs
|
|
NOAA and SeaWeb have entered into a partnership to enhance understanding of the nation's valuable, but increasingly vulnerable coral reef ecosystems in the Caribbean, Florida, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands. Sometimes referred to as the 'rainforests of the sea's; coral reefs provide services estimated to be worth as much as $375 billion globally each year.

Up Close: NOAA's Green Ship Initiative Led By Dennis Donahue And GLERL's Ship Operations Group
|
|
Thanks to the innovations put in place by NOAA marine superintendent, Dennis Donahue, and the 'Green Ships Initiative,' all three of NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory large diesel research vessels operate fully on bio-based, vegetable products. The R/V Huron Explorer, R/V Shenehon and R/V Laurentian, all use 100 percent soy biodiesel for engine fuel, canola-based motor oil and vegetable-based hydraulic oil for its deck crane, winches, transmission, and steering gear. Not only is this a cost effective way to help reduce environmental emissions, but it also has improved both ship performance and crew health and safety. The ships are the first in the U.S. fleet to operate on 100 percent bio-based products and GLERL has already received two national level awards for this environmental effort.

NOAA’s Special Agents and Enforcement Officers Undaunted By Mission
|
|
Considering the 3.44 million square miles that comprise federal waters, is twice the size of the entire land mass of the United States, protecting resources withing this marine zone could be seen as a daunting task. However, for the 220 NOAA employees within NOAA Fisheries Service’s Office of Law Enforcement, this is just everyday business.

Behind The Scenes: NOAA’s North Atlantic Hurricane Seasonal Outlook
|
|
While meteorologists at the NOAA National Hurricane Center predict the track and strength of individual storms, the annual Hurricane Seasonal Outlook is an official forecast product of NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. It’s the job of NOAA’s seasonal hurricane forecasters to predict tropical storm and hurricane activity over the entire six-month season.

Summer Weather Can Promote Poor Air Quality – NOAA’s Air Quality Forecast Guidance Helps Predict It
|
|
In many parts of the country, the arrival of summer signals the start of air pollution season. Fortunately, the NOAA National Weather Service’s air quality forecast guidance, produced in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, helps provide air quality forecasters and the public with information on predicted air quality conditions they need as they plan their daily activities. NOAA’s involvement in air quality forecasting stems from the fact that air quality and weather go hand in hand. Weather can promote both the formation or degradation of various airborne pollutants and can disperse/transport them from one part of the country to another, thus making air quality a national issue.

All Eyes Are on the Sun After NOAA-Led Solar Cycle 24 Panel Predicts Upcoming Period of Intense Solar Storms
|
|
All eyes are on the sun now that the NOAA-led Solar Cycle 24 Prediction Panel released its official consensus solar cycle forecast at the Space Weather Workshop in Boulder, Colo., yesterday. “The next 11-year cycle of solar storms will most likely start next March and peak in late 2011 or mid-2012,” said Doug Biesecker, a solar physicist from the NOAA Space Environment Center in Boulder, Colo., who also chaired the NASA-funded 12-person panel.

Navigation satellites contend with stormy Sun

Just as we grow used to satellite navigation in everyday life, media reports argue that a coming surge in solar activity could render satnav devices useless, perhaps even frying satellites themselves. Is it true? No.

Goodbye to cold nights
|
|
Given the impact of climatic extremes on agriculture and health in Spain, researchers have analyzed the two factors most representative of these thermal extremes between 1950 and 2006 - warm days and cold nights. The results for mainland Spain show an increase in the number of warm days greater than that for the rest of the planet and a reduction in the number of cold nights.
