[1] Satellite measurements from the infrared (IR) channels of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)/NOAA have been used to derive many important atmospheric, cloud, and surface parameters for weather prediction, climate modelling, and a variety of environmental studies. Calibration accuracy of the satellite data directly affects accuracies of the derived parameters. So far, very ...

Restoration is a significant component of NOAA’s work and continues to increase. NOAA has played a central role in thousands of restoration projects. Those projects appear to be increasing in number and scale, both in dollars and acres. NOAA increasingly serves as an advisor on the best use of significant levels of restoration funds. NOAA is one of a very small handful of truly global leaders i...

The Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS) is a data assimilation and distribution system developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA) Office of Atmospheric Research Earth System Research Laboratory/Global Systems Division (ESRL/GSD) to perform the functions of data ingest, data integration, processing for QC, observation network monitoring, and data distribution for...

In the United States and other coastal nations, ocean acidification has quickly become a common topic of scientific research. Ocean acidification also has become a public concern as news headlines warn of this potentially threatening byproduct of global climate change. In March 2009, the U.S. Congress passed the Federal Ocean Acidification Research Monitoring Act, a bill to establish an interag...
