FUTURE
NOAA SPACECRAFT WILL IMPROVE MANAGEMENT OF AMERICA'S COASTAL
WATERS
Scientists from NOAA, NASA, the Office of Naval Research and
academia are looking to use data from a highly advanced imaging
device—set to go onboard the next generation of Geostationary
Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES-R)—to track
red tides, oil spills, upwelling and other U.S. coastal water
management issues more effectively. The device, called the
Hyperspectral Environment Suite, will be a major imaging instrument
on the GOES-R spacecraft, which is scheduled to launch in
2012. HES will include a capability to image all U.S. coastal
waters and is expected to provide critical data to resource
managers and researchers studying climate, fisheries, coastal
ecology and oceanography.

NEW
NOAA RESEARCH VESSEL COMPLETES MAIDEN VOYAGE WITH FIVE-WEEK
SURVEY OF NORTHWESTERN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS —
The newly commissioned NOAA research vessel Hi'ialakai completed
its first mission with a successful, comprehensive, five-week
survey of marine ecosystems in the waters of the remote Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve. During the 35-day
cruise, 18 researchers conducted assessments, monitoring and
mapping operations throughout the waters and reefs within the
reserve. |

U.S. WINTER OUTLOOK — NOAA scientists announced
that a number of climate conditions will influence the winter
weather across the United States from December through February.
The NOAA 2004-2005 Winter Outlook calls for above-average temperatures
in Alaska, much of the West and the northern and central Great
Plains. Below average temperatures are expected across the Gulf
Coast states, the Southeast and the mid-Atlantic region of the
U.S. There are equal chances of warmer, cooler or near-normal
temperatures this winter in the Northeast, Midwest and parts
of Southwest. |
