Narwhal Whales as Oceanographers: Mission to Greenland
Posted: April 19th, 2007, 1:36pm PDT
Enclosure: [download]
In the frigid waters off the coast of Greenland scientists are getting valuable data from narwhals - the most ice loving whales in the world. Narwhals, beluga and bowhead whales, which you can hear in the background, make their homes in the Arctic. There are about 100,000 narwhals in the world, and the vast majority of them - about 50,000 to 70,000 - live in the Arctic waters of Greenland. -
Researchers Find Global Positioning System Is Significantly Impacted by Powerful Solar Radio Burst

It came from outer space traveling 93 million miles in eight minutes. Once it arrived on Earth, there was no mistaking the fact that a solar flare that produced an intense radio burst a day later affected the satellites that make up the Global Positioning System. Many of the GPS satellites were not available to technology dependant on them, as well as other communication technologies using radio waves, such as cell phones, bank money transfers and navigation systems. -

The average annual temperature for the contiguous U.S. will likely be the third warmest on record in 2006, according to scientists at the NOAA National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. The year is noted for widespread drought and record wildfires, as well as heavy precipitation and flooding in some parts of the country. -
NOAA on Hurricane Katrina-One Year Later

It's been a year since Hurricane Katrina landed on the U.S. Gulf Coast and became the most destructive hurricane to ever strike the nation. The devastation for hundreds of miles was complete, and the memories of that day are forever etched in the minds of those whose survived the monster storm and those who were there to help. That's how it is for Commander Mark Moran, of the NOAA Commissioned Corps, who was part of the helicopter crew that flew more than 100 hours over the affected areas from Panama Beach, Fla., to New Orleans. -
NOAA on Ozone Hole Discovery 20 Years Ago
Posted: August 24th, 2006, 10:36am PDT

Twenty years ago a team of NOAA scientists flew to the Antarctic with scientists from three other organizations to find out what was causing a hole in the Earth's ozone layer. That's the 15-mile thick layer that absorbs the sun's dangerous ultraviolet radiation that can cause skin cancer and cataracts in humans, harm animals and their food source, as well as hurt the environment. -
NOAA Observes 20th Anniversary of Ozone Hole 'Success Story'

It was 20 years ago this month that four teams of scientists from NOAA and three other organizations flew to the end of the Earth to find out what was causing a hole in the planet's ozone layer. That's the thin, invisible layer of the Earth's atmosphere about 15 miles thick that plays a vital role in absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. -
NOAA Continues to Predict Above-normal Hurricane Season

Don't be complacent. The show's only getting started. NOAA updated its forecast for the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season, and the outlook still is for an above-normal number of storms. This updated forecast is slightly lower than the outlook issued in May but remains above the seasonal average of 11 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes. -
NOAA Researcher Joins with Astronauts to Test Moon Exploration Concepts on the Seafloor

Under the ocean a NOAA researcher was moon walking. That's right. Aquanauts the astronauts of the sea used NOAA's undersea lab, Aquarius, to test spacesuits and equipment that would be used for exploring the moon and Mars. Conditions under the ocean pose similar challenges that astronauts face while in space, such as lack of oxygen, weightlessness, remoteness, extreme pressure differentials and cramped quarters. Many techniques, technologies and skills necessary to work underwater can be adapted for lunar research, and vice versa. -

Across the United States each year many lives are taken or put at risk by flooding. In every state or territory floods destroy property costing billions of dollars annually. NOAA National Weather Service storm data show that on average floods kill more people every year than lightning, tornadoes and hurricanes. In 2005, inland flooding from hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused an extraordinary loss of life and property damage.
