Seeking a Better Understanding of Atmospheric Mercury:
It may be the name of a car, a planet, and a Roman god, but (as best we know) none of those are toxic to humans or the environment.

A River In The Sea - Sea Grant-Funded Researcher Takes New Look At Impact of Wintertime Coastal Currents :
All in all, physical oceanographer Glen Gawarkiewicz admitted, he could have decided on a research topic more conducive to warm days in the bright blue waters of the Caribbean, drifting along with the lazy currents in and amongst the coral reefs.

The Future of Climate Modeling at GFDL - The Earth System Model:
NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) has been constructing the next generation Earth System Model (ESM) to advance our understanding of how the Earth’s biogeochemical cycles, including human actions, interact with the climate system.

NOAA Supports Young Explorers in Seafloor to Mountaintop to Outer Space Challenge:
NOAA’s Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL) is inspiring a new generation of explorers to discover the deep ocean.

First Live-Attenuated Vaccine for S. Iniae in Development:
In preliminary trials, NOAA Sea Grant researchers have for the first time demonstrated the feasibility of using a live-attenuated vaccine to prevent the deadly Streptococcus iniae infection in fish.

Study Completed on Research and Networks for Decision Support in the NOAA Climate Sectoral Applications Research Program:
In response to NOAA’s and the U.S. Climate Change Science Program’s strong and continued interest in providing timely climate information for effective decision-making, the NOAA Climate Program Office established the Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP) in 2005.

Girl Power in Greenland - Four Women ‘Winter Over’ in the Arctic:
Most people would think twice about leaving their house if the temperature was below zero degrees Fahrenheit. 

Glider measurements of the Solomon Sea - Towards monitoring of the equatorial-subtropical exchange:
Just as wind blowing on the ocean sets the water in motion to produce currents, the currents also feed back to modify the winds.

NOAA Researcher’s Warning Helps Save Lives:
A detailed map of Bangladesh, hand carried around the world four years ago, launched a chain of events that may have saved thousands of lives when Cyclone Sidr, a Category 4 storm, roared ashore from the Bay of Bengal near the border of India and Bangladesh on Thursday, Nov. 15.

Unwanted Medications – A Prescription for Troubled Waters:
We are a society that takes a lot of drugs – each year, the use of prescription medicine increases and new drugs come on the market.

Ocean Hall – NOAA adds salt water to grow a national legacy:
In 2004, the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy called for a new era, one that links people to the marine environment and builds national support for a healthy ocean.

The Pacific Gateway to the Arctic:
The Bering Strait, a narrow and shallow strait at the northern end of the Pacific, is the only ocean gateway between the Pacific and the Arctic.

Hot Commodity:
You may not think water clarity could be something to list as a home asset, but if you’re a Lake Erie shoreline property owner, you may want to think again.

NOAA 'Tall Tower' to Track Front Range Carbon Emissions and Air Quality:
A new sensor in what will be a broad nationwide network for tracking carbon is now monitoring the air over Colorado's Front Range.

From Seafloor “Live” to Scientists Ashore:
At the bottom of the Black Sea off Ukraine, in a sprawling warehouse in Largo Maryland, and in the waters of Puget Sound in Washington State, three subplots are now underway that will fold into a single story next year and change how NOAA explores the ocean.

Hurricane Research in NOAA, We don't make the forecasts.... we make the forecasts better:
Starting in mid-August, researchers from AOML will be in position and ready to test an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) in hurricanes that come within range of the launching site at Key West Naval Air Station.
