  Written statement on the NOAA FY 2002 Budget Request by Acting Under Secretary for Oceans and Atmosphere Scott Gudes ...
The data processed by the NWSTG are used by hundreds of customers worldwide but the current NWSTG facility, located in NWS headquarters in Silver Spring, MD has no operational backup and is therefore a single point of failure vulnerable to natural disasters, human error, computer viruses, hacker attacks, and terrorism.
Data assimilation is the collection and processing of weather observations (satellite, aircraft, radar, data buoys, upper-air balloons) for use in operational numerical weather prediction models.
Demonstration projects have shown that these programs can provide the accurate data necessary for determining precise under-keel and overhead/bridge clearances and support near zero visibility docking, allowing commercial vessels to more safely navigate and efficiently load and move cargo in and out of depth-limited harbors.

In addition, commercial fishing data on various seamounts was collected through observed fishing trips for both sablefish and rockfish over the last 10 and 4 years, respectively.
The data from the early surveys and some fishing trips is not in an electronic format and none of the data is entered into the PBS biological database GFBIO.
Data for this project was compiled from five sources: Please note that sources 1, 2, 3 and 4 are protected data sets.

New data will be presented in this context which will have the potential to influence thinking within the nutrition and public health community as to whether this class of non-essential plant compounds may in fact be important for optimal cardiovascular health.
Satellite imagery and data are being used to see hidden lightning not visible to the naked eye, and may provide as much as a 50% increase in severe storm warning lead time.
One of the remaining challenges in assessing possible responses to concerns about global climate change (GCC) is overcoming the separation, both intellectual and in policy attention and research funding, between mitigation and adaptation as categories of reponses.

 Written statement on the NOAA FY 2002 budget request before a hearing of the House Resources Fisheries Conservation, ...
From safe navigation to coastal services, fisheries management to climate research and ocean exploration, NOAA is at the forefront of many of this Nation's most critical issues.
To improve the quality of data collected by observers and to provide a more sound base for fishery management decisions, the plan includes resources to provide better coordination and consistency of NMFS observer program policies and procedures.
This continued investment will allow NOAA to operate its fleet of 15 vessels capable of safely collecting hydrographic and coastal assessment data, conducting fishery independent scientific and survey operations, and conducting sustained oceanographic and atmospheric data collection in various marine environments and provides funds for outsourcing to meet some data-collection requirements.

 Maritime Archaeology and History of the Pacific Symposium Highlights
With regard to shipwrecks that have been investigated archaeologically, it is sometimes easy to think in terms of a direct transformation of the site from the time the ship was wrecked to the time the wrecksite was investigated, but of course this is not the case.
While progress is being made toward globally unifying the management of heritage resources of all types, most notably through UNESCO conventions, factional disagreement, misinformation and indifference continue to impede the formation of a popular consensus on the proper disposition of submerged heritage.
Furthermore I argue that there is considerable potential for archaeological research into certain aspects of the technology of whaling and into the life style and living conditions experienced by ship-based and shore-based whalers.

 NOAA's FY2002 Budget: Predicting Weather and Climate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
NOAA is responsible for all U.S. weather and climate forecasting, monitoring and archiving of ocean and atmospheric data, management of marine fisheries and mammals, mapping and charting of all U.S. waters, coastal zone management, and research and development in all of these areas.
Fundamental to prediction of weather and climate are global observations of the atmosphere, ocean and the land surface.
The ability to navigate this information, seeking data that satisfies the direct needs of a variety of users, is likely to spark a new ''age of information'' that will promote economic benefit and engender new research directions and capabilities to integrate physical, biological, chemical and human systems.

The overall aim of this course is to familiarise students with the basic principles that rule life in the ocean and provide an understanding of the variety of marine ecosystems found throughout the world.
By examining the physical and chemical conditions organisms experience in different oceanographic regions we will learn how marine organisms are adapted to the intertidal zone, the open ocean, the deep sea, coral reefs and polar seas.
An extensive programme of specialised survey work is enhanced by a unique sightings network of volunteer observers throughout the UK which provides data essential not only for basic research, but also for evidence crucial in the conservation and protection of these marine animals.
