  1. Hurricane Center -- Noaa Weather
    When tropical storm or hurricane conditions are predicted within 36 hours, the center issues the proper watches and warnings through the news media and NOAA Weather Radio. Although it is an organization of the United States, the World Meteorological Organization has designated the NHC as Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for the North Atlantic and eastern and central Pacific Ocean. In other words, the NHC is the central source of information for all tropical cyclone forecasts and observations happening in these areas, despite of their effect on the US.
  2. Paleoclimatology -- Noaa Paleoclimatology
    Paleoclimatology is the study of climate prior to the widespread availability of records of temperature, precipitation and other instrumental data. NOAA is particularly interested in the last few thousand years because this is the best dated, best sampled part of the past climatic record and can help us establish the range of natural climatic variability in a period prior to global-scale human influence.
  3. Search -- New York
    This job search portal, based in Houston, Texas, has rapidly grown to be a very popular tool for jobseekers worldwide. ``WorkTree.com goes beyond just providing links to even the most hard to find job boards,'' said Varughese. ``Thousands of jobsites, governmental agencies, newspapers and companies are categorized by location and industry with direct links to their site and career/employment boards.''
  4. Channel Islands -- Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary
    "The Channel Islands marine zoning network is now the largest in the continental United States," said Daniel J. Basta, director of the NOAA National Marine Sanctuary Program. "This action was developed through an eight-year public process, coordinated closely with the state of California, the Pacific Fishery Management Council and NOAA Fisheries Service. The countless community members who helped NOAA by providing scientific information, input and advice can be proud of this important conservation accomplishment."
  5. Dolphins (Movie) -- Whales
    The MMPA does not provide for swimming with wild dolphins, whether commercially or recreationally. “Watching” cruises (in theory) are a form of passive observation that does not disturb the animals. NOAA Fisheries considers swimming with wild dolphins... to be an act of "pursuit …which may have potential … to disturb a marine mammal or stock in the wild causing behavioral patterns to be disrupted” (50 CRF 216.3). Swimming with wild dolphins and whales facilitates interactions with them. NOAA Fisheries recommends maintaining a minimum distance of 50 yards from any marine mammal.
  6. Northwestern Hawaiian Islands -- Expedition
    This is a collaborative effort of many agencies and organizations working together to preserve the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The major feature of the site is a collection of links to various expeditions such as Navigating Change, an educational initiative to motivate, encourage and challenge people to improve the environmental conditions in their own backyards, especially as it pertains to the coral reef ecosystems. The producers of this curriculum are targeting their message to the youth of Hawaii in the hopes of influencing people to take responsibility for the stewardship and sustainability of the islands and ocean. Classroom videos and a teacher curriculum are available. In addition, the site offers information about educational expeditions for teachers, links to information about the area with maps and satellite photographs, and links to other lesson plans and student activities.
  7. Satellites -- Weather Satellites
    Geostationary Satellites GOES satellites provide the kind of continuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis. They circle the Earth in a geosynchronous orbit, which means they orbit the equatorial plane of the Earth at a speed matching the Earth's rotation. This allows them to hover continuously over one position on the surface. Because they stay above a fixed spot on the surface, they provide a constant vigil for the atmospheric "triggers" for severe weather conditions such as tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms, and hurricanes.
  8. Paleoclimatology -- Paleoclimatology Program
    The Paleoclimatology website ... serves as a portal to the WDC-A, the World Data Center for Meteorology, Asheville, which is maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The portal is collocated and operated by the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), under which the Paleoclimatology Program operates. The WDC-A acquires, catalogues, and archives data, and makes the data available to international scientific investigators without restriction, including special research data sets prepared under international programs. The data sets include those from the IGY, World Climate Program (WCP), and Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP). The WDC-A's mission is to make data submission easy and efficient, and to help preserve climate data as a legacy to be used by scientists and other colleagues today and in the future.
  9. Satellite System -- Controls
    Ground Systems/Operations — “Early Convergence” of the DMSP and POES satellite operations occurred in 1998, by consolidating DMSP and POES operations at the NOAA SOCC in Suitland, Md., and establishing a backup satellite operations control facility at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. Relocation of DMSP operations to the same site as other NOAA satellite operations and closure of two DMSP satellite control facilities resulted in combined savings in FY 1996-FY 1998 of about $50 million. Additional annual savings of about $8 million in personnel costs have been realized through the reduction from nearly 250 USAF operators at the former DMSP operations centers to only about 50 civilian NOAA operators at the Suitland SOCC. Further cost savings will be realized as the existing DMSP and POES programs are more fully integrated during the transition to NPOESS.
  10. National Hurricane Center -- Bill Proenza
    The ruckus at the National Hurricane Center in Miami made for fun reading. But you have to wonder what, if anything, is really wrong at this small, elite agency, the effectiveness of which is of life-and-death significance to Floridians and tens of millions of Americans along our coastlines...we doubt the whole story has come out. Was Proenza just a trouble-maker? Or was he asking good questions people couldn't answer?
