Cristian Ehrmantraut has developed a prototype for a floating platform that filters the ocean and absorbs plastic.

Save the Date! We are pleased to announce the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Satellite Conference (NSC 2015) for Direct Readout, GOES/POES, and GOES-R/JPSS Users, April 27 - May 1, 2015, in Greenbelt, Maryland. The 2015 theme is “Preparing for the Future of Environmental Satellites.”

The conference offers an extension of the inaugural 2013 conference that merged past Satellite Direct Readout and GOES Users’ Conferences along with POES, Suomi NPP, JPSS customers and users into one event. This gathering will include government, public, private, and academic attendees, along with national and international associates.

Study provides new insight into Southern Ocean behavior

Mixing it up: Study provides new insight into Southern Ocean behavior Turbulent mixing in the deep waters of the Southern Ocean, which has a profound effect on global ocean circulation and climate, varies with the strength of surface eddies - the ocean equivalent of storms in the atmosphere - and possibly also wind speeds. A new study is the first to link eddies at th…

2013 was among the 6 warmest years on record! The State of the Climate Report for 2013, issued by NOAA and the American Meteorological Society, found that climate data from air, land, sea and ice in 2013 reflect trends of a warming planet. Report highlights found here: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/bams-state-of-the-climate/2013.php
