The network map for herring management depicting weekly communication. UNH Researcher Is Mapping the Flow of Communication -- The project studies the patterns of communication within and between various local and regional organizations. It was driven by a concern that effective coastal and ocean management is inhibited by a lack of communication, coordination and a sense of partnership.

IMAGE: The network map for herring management depicting weekly communication shows more than 150 individuals from industry, government, conservation groups, scientists and other stakeholder groups involved at various levels on a weekly basis.

Arctic Ocean ice floes Arctic, Antarctic: Poles Apart in Climate Response -- An international team of scientists agree each region responds differently to similar greenhouse gas levels and solar radiation, especially in temperature and loss of sea ice.

NOAA Accepting Public Comments on Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project -- HFIP will provide the basis for NOAA and other agencies to work towards a national effort to coordinate hurricane research and address ways to improve hurricane forecasts.

NOAA Scientists Report Sharp Rise in Carbon Dioxide and Methane in 2007 -- Rapidly growing industrialization in Asia and rising wetland emissions in the Arctic and tropics are the most likely causes of the recent methane increase.

Ozone Hole Recovery Could Reshape Southern Hemisphere Climate Change -- Scientists used a supercomputer model that included interactions between the climate and stratospheric ozone chemistry to examine how changes in the ozone hole influence climate and weather near Earth's surface.

Maintaining an active constituent relations program ensures that OAR and NOAA leadership communicate effectively and often with their most important customers. The recent Severe Weather Research Roundtable solicited input to ensure NOAA’s research priorities will enable us to ensure NOAA is able to provide the observations, sophisticated forecast models, and state-of-the-art technologies our partners and customers will require in the future.
