How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when it is quite clearly Ocean. We seem to regard the ocean as an enormous garbage tip, dump etc. I guess a bit of organic matter spilled into the ocean is probably not good, but radioactive stuff? Looking back on the amazingly stupid Ann Coulter, I daresay there are quite a few people who believed her inane comments about how good radioactivity is for us! However it's not good for animals who live in the sea. Numerous news outlets have been carrying stories relating to a supposed mystery surrounding a massive die off of California sea lions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has assembled a team including marine biologists, veterinarians, and public health officials to investigate what they call, an “unusual mortality event”. The agency was quick to reassure us, that while radiation poisoning was an unlikely cause, it had not been ruled out. The interesting thing here is that some official agency finally dared to even mention the R word. ( ...

Solar flares closing in on Earth Auroras already arcing across sky in Scandinavia WASHINGTON – The massive sunspot identified as AR1654, which is spewing solar flares, has scientists saying that a portion of a coronal mass ejection is expected to brush Earth's magnetic field, creating what observers say are bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. Already, scientists say, the CME's arrival on the solar winds is creating auroras arcing across the skies of northern Scandinavia. Scientists from the National Aeronautic and Space Administration and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration say this reveals the potential for a solar storm maximum as the sun approaches the height of its latest 11-year cycle this year and next. Flares are expected to continue into 2020. Scientists at these space-watch agencies say that if Earth gets a direct hit from one of these solar flares – some of wh ...

USELESS & INTERESTING FACTS The Scottish dish, haggis, is made of the heart, liver, lungs and small intestines of a calf. It's then boiled in the stomach of the animal, and seasoned with salt, pepper and onions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced in 1978 that it would alternate men's and women's names in the naming of hurricanes. It was seen as an attempt at fair play. Hurricanes had been named for women for years, until NOAA succumbed to pressure from women's groups who were demanding that Atlantic storms be given unisex names.

Found on BBC: Funeral for US Civil War Sailors Scientists have reconstructed what the sailors may have looked like, but have been unable to identify them The remains of two sailors who perished aboard US Civil War gunboat USS Monitor are to be buried with full military honours at Arlington National Cemetery. The bodies and uniforms of the unidentified crewmen were recovered from the wreck in 2002. The Monitor was America's first ironclad warship. It sank off North Carolina in 1862 with 16 men aboard. About 750,000 men died in the Civil War between the northern and southern US states, which lasted 1861-1865. "These may very well be the last Navy personnel from the Civil War to be buried at Arlington," US Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said last month. The remains of 14 sailors were never recovered David Alberg, superintendent of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's Monitor National Marine Sanctuary, said: "The decision to lay these heroes to rest in Arlington honours not only these two men ...

Filed under "what you won't be hearing about" -- but hey you'll know how many snow flakes fall in the center of the universe Washington DC. -- WASHINGTON — The amount of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the air jumped dramatically in 2012, making it very unlikely that Global Warming can be limited to another 2 degrees as many global leaders have hoped, new federal figures show. Scientists say the rise in CO2 reflects the world's economy revving up and burning more fossil fuels, especially in China. Carbon dioxide levels jumped by 2.67 parts per million since 2011 to total just under 395 parts per million, says Pieter Tans, who leads the greenhouse gas measurement team for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That's the second highest rise in carbon emissions since record-keeping began in 1959. The measurements are taken from air samples captured away from civilization near a volcano in Mauna Loa, Hawaii. More coal-burning power plants, especially in the developing world, are the main reas ...

This has been the warmest decade since 1880. In 2010, global surface temperatures tied 2005 as the warmest on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Scientists say that the earth could warm by an additional 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit during the 21st century if we fail to reduce emissions from burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil. This rise in average temperature will have far-reaching effects on the earth's climate patterns and on all living things. Many of these changes have already begun.

TWO SAILORS FROM THE USS MONITOR TO BE BURIED IN Arlington National Cemetery For 140 years the two Yankee sailors lay entombed in the turret of the USS Monitor, doomed shipmates aboard the sunken Civil War vessel 40 fathoms down and 16 miles off Cape Hatteras. Their remains were recovered when the turret was brought to the surface in an amazing feat of marine archaeology and engineering in 2002. Next month, after a decade of trying to learn their identities, the Navy plans to bury the comrades as unidentified in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. The funeral, scheduled for March 8, will mark 40 years of research into the Monitor by the Navy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Mariners’ Museum in Newport News, Va., and many other organizations.

A PROJECT WORTH KEEPING UP WITH: learn more on how the public can help and pass the word! Water is a main source of water! U.S. Senator Mark Pryor on Thursday joined Senators Jerry Moran, John Thune, Tom Udall and Mark Udall in introducing legislation to reauthorize the National Integrated Drought Information System, which provides vital drought information to farmers, ranchers, and other industries affected by weather conditions. The NIDIS program is a function of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Since the NIDIS Act was signed into law, government agencies have worked to develop a long-term plan for drought prevention, research, and education. The Drought Information Act would extend this program for five years and support an interactive "early warning system" of timely and accurate drought information, as well an integrated weather monitoring and forecasting system. By increasing coordination with the U.S.D.A. and private sector, the bill would also enhance the agriculture industry . ...

June 5, 2012 Warming gas levels hit 'troubling milestone' SETH BORENSTEIN,AP Science Writer Associated Press - — WASHINGTON (AP) — The world's air has reached what scientists call a troubling new milestone for carbon dioxide, the main Global Warming pollutant. Monitoring stations across the Arctic this spring are measuring more than 400 parts per million of the heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere. The number isn't quite a surprise, because it's been rising at an accelerating pace. Years ago, it passed the 350 ppm mark that many scientists say is the highest safe level for carbon dioxide. It now stands globally at 395. So far, only the Arctic has reached that 400 level, but the rest of the world will follow soon. "The fact that it's 400 is significant," said Jim Butler, global monitoring director at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Earth System Research Lab in Boulder, Colo. "It's just a reminder to everybody that we haven't fixed this and we're still in trouble." Carbon dioxide is ...

Although February is starting out with bits of snow here and there across the northern Plains and East, this month is notorious for producing some big winter storms. In fact, several memorable U.S. winter storms have occurred in February. Here is a list of the storms the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has classified as the biggest ones since 1888: 1956 Southern Plains Snowstorm: A series of disturbances brought heavy snow to the southern Plains the first week of February (1st-8th). The Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle was the bull`s eye for the heaviest accumulation. In Texas, Vega had an accumulation of 43 inches, Hereford saw 24 inches, while Amarillo got 14 inches. In spots, snow accumulated for almost 4 straight days. Travel was completely interrupted and hundreds of cattle died. Food for surviving cows had to be airlifted in since roads were closed and/or snow-covered.

Florida County Uses Oyster Shells o Protect Shoreline: Thousands of pounds of oyster shells act as a reef outside a St. John's County, Florida historical site. After a little bit of lemon juice and cocktail sauce, an oyster has served its purpose for most, but not for one Florida county. Over the last few years, St. John’s County has been in a predicament to protect Wright’s Landing, a historic site which was the likely location of a 17th Century Spanish mission, from an intrusive waterline. In the last year, with financial backing from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, volunteers have been collecting used oyster shells from coastal restaurants and placed them on the shorelines of the Tolomato River, according to The Florida Times-Union. The oysters have formed a man-made reef, which has since become the home of 40 species of sea dwellers, according to the article. The oyster reef acts as a barrier between incoming waves from ships and boats, decreasing the wave’s energy before it ...

New York (Reuters) - A distressed dolphin died on Friday after wandering into a notoriously polluted New York City canal, according to a marine research group that was monitoring the animal. The animal, a common dolphin, died in the shallow waters of Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal, said Valentina Sherlock, an employee at The Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation, whose biologists were keeping watch over the dolphin on behalf of police and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A decision on what to do with the carcass would likely be made on Saturday, Sherlock said. Earlier in the day, the animal appeared to be disoriented and seemed to be struggling to avoid getting stuck in the muddy floor of the shallow canal, said Mendy Garron, a marine mammals response coordinator from NOAA. "When we see animals that come in, especially this far, and get into these situations they are typically very disoriented, and it's an indicator that they're either sick or injured," Garron said ...

We sometimes forget the importance of our federal agencies. Here is a nice letter from Peter Saundry of the NCSE. "On the afternoon of Friday October 19, 2012, scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) began to pay attention to a seemingly obscure thunderstorm in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. From this inauspicious beginning, NOAA scientists began tracking and reporting on Superstorm Sandy. By continually monitoring the conditions of the storm and an extensive area of atmosphere and ocean; and, using sophisticated models developed over many decades to predict future conditions, NOAA scientists did something truly remarkable on October 26, while Sandy was over the Bahamas. The scientists predicted that the storm would gather strength, move northeast and then, abruptly, veer west and slam into New Jersey with major impact on the twenty-two million people living in the metropolitan area of New York. Demonstrating faith in its science and scientists, NOAA immediately alerte ...

Temperatures are expected to be about average for the next three months for most of the United States, scientists with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration reported Jan. 17. However, there's about a 33 percent chance of warmer-than-average temperatures for much of the Northeast and the Southwest, and an even greater chance that west Texas and New Mexico will be unusually balmy. But don't put away your mittens just yet: The last week of January is expected to be much colder than usual for most of the Northeast, with temperatures up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit (5.6 degrees Celsius) below average in the region, said a forecaster with NOAA's Climate Prediction Center. Drought continues for just under 60 percent of the continental United States, and it's likely to persist through much of the central and southern Great Plains, even extending in some areas to the South and West, where below-average rainfall is forecast. The odds are tilted toward more rain than average for the upper Midwest and ...

Brace up for a once-in-a-century solar activity that could potentially throw life out of gear as the Sun reaches `Solar Maximum'. It's a period of greatest solar activity when the Sun's irradiance output rises 0.1%. While solar maximum occurs once in every 11 years, the 2013 impact will be different as this solar maximum coincides with the Sun's 22-year magnetic energy cycle—last time this happened was way back in 1859. ET takes a closer look at Solar Maximum 2013 and its impact: What exactly is Solar Maximum? A solar maximum is a sudden eruption of intense high-energy radiation from the sun's surface caused by explosions on its surface. A solar flare could hit the Earth like a lightening bolt and knock out electrical and navigational equipment leading to shutdown of communication & power systems. Who is tracking Solar Maximum? US based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Centre is the main agency tracking solar maximum. It monitors 'space weather fronts' that migh ...

SeaWorld Orlando’s Animal Rescue Team received four loggerhead sea turtles flown in on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) aircraft from the New England Aquarium. A mass stranding of hypothermic sea turtles occurred along the Cape Cod coast several weeks ago; this is the second shipment of turtles for SeaWorld to take in and rehabilitate. The sea turtles were received by SeaWorld aquarists at the Orlando Executive Airport and then transported to SeaWorld Orlando’s rehabilitation facility where the park’s veterinarian and aquarium team quickly evaluated the sea turtles; they will perform a more extensive evaluation in the morning. The mass stranding is attributed to an unseasonably warm November that delayed the turtles’ exit from Cape Cod Bay to warmer waters. When the ocean temperatures dropped quickly, the sea turtles developed hypothermia and washed ashore. Once water temperatures are warm enough, the turtles will be returned to their natural habitat. Distressed turtles ...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The weather outlook for winter shows wetter than normal conditions are projected for Tennessee and Kentucky. The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center expects above normal precipitation now through the end of March across both states. A line of storms moved through Tennessee and Kentucky early Thursday morning. Wetter often means snowier during winter months, but it could also mean ice, freezing rain, sleet or just cold rain. Up on the Cumberland Plateau, near the Kentucky border, Fentress County school superintendent Mike Jones worries about lost school days if it snows. His rural Appalachian county usually loses two weeks per year to snow, but lost 20 days during the 2010-2011 academic year. Whether the extra precipitation falls as cold rain, snow, sleet or freezing rain won't be known until shortly before it hits.

~ Man-made Global Warming Is a Farce Written by Rebecca Terrell The notion of the "new normal" of extreme weather is a farce, according to a recent report by the environmental group Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT). Extreme Weather Report 2012 was presented at the latest UN Climate Conference in Doha, Qatar, but the only press this landmark study received was when British politician and author Lord Christopher Monckton was kicked out of the conference for presenting it. The report is actually a massive compilation of scientific studies and news articles from both public and private sources, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Together they indicate claims of "Global Warming," "climate change" and "climate disruption" are nothing but a ruse to usher in massive carbon taxes and crippling regulations. Like Pavlov's dog, politicians are conditioned to react to any harsh weather event by drooling for higher taxes, notes the study. Naturally, delegates at the UN co ...

NOAA Fisheries hires groups to interview stakeholders and build consensus on Columbia Basin salmon SEAFOOD.COM NEWS [Oregonian] By Scott Learn - December 13, 2012 - The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which oversees Northwest salmon and steelhead listings under the Endangered Species Act, has hired two university consensus-building groups to interview Columbia Basin leaders about how to best recover wild salmon in the long term. The Oregon Consensus program at Portland State University and the William D. Ruckelshaus Center in Washington will conduct hourlong interviews of more than 150 people, with a first report due late next summer. Leaders of tribes and myriad interest groups in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana will be among those interviewed. The interviewers will be neutral, NOAA says, and responses will not be attributed to specific people to promote candid conversations. "We want to see if it can provide a better picture of what it would take to get to salmon recovery," says B ...

Jonathan’s Article Taiwan Goes Green with Bike Sharing This spring, Taiwan became the first in Asia to start a bike-sharing program in its two major cities, Taipei and Kaohsiung. Looking to spin the lush island's yin for cycling into a way to reduce pollution, the Taiwanese government launched the service hoping commuters will ditch their cars and start using the thousands of rental bikes it has stationed around the two urban centers to get to work. "Cycling is a great way to unwind after work," says Horace Lee, a corporate planning associate at the Taipei Stock Exchange. "I cycle around the neighborhood just for fun before I hop on the metro." The green bikes project is one of several green initiatives that Taipei has started in recent years in an effort to reign in the island's enduring emissions problem. Kaohsiung, an industrial port city with some of the worst air in Asia, unveiled its program on March 1 with an initial trial of 4500 bikes at 20 different stations. The government ultimately hopes to ...

METEOR SHOWER TONIGHT!! :D~!! According here: Manila, Philippines – “Falling stars” will be visible across the country tonight, produced by the prominent Geminids meteor shower, which is known as one of the most spectacular astronomical events of the year. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the annual Geminids meteor shower will reach its peak at nighttime of December 13 until the early morning of December 14. “Under a dark and cloudless sky just after midnight of its peak activity, meteors or “falling stars” can be seen at an average rate of 40 meteors per hour,” PAGASA Administrator Dr. Nathaniel Servando said. The meteor shower can still be observed until December 17 but on a lesser magnitude. Geminids is considered a prominent meteor shower alongside Perseids, which is usually observed during August. Servando explained that the shower will appear to radiate from the constellation of Gemini, the Twins, which will be located in t ...

November is history now, and nary a drop of precipitation touched Austin rain gauges, making it the driest November in Austin’s recorded history. Only a quarter inch of rain fell, on average, in the whole of Texas through the entire month of November, according to estimates provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). That would make it about the 3rd or 4th driest November since record keeping started in 1895. Put the last two months together, and you have the driest October and November since the drought of record in the 1950s. The worst one year drought in Texas on record began in October 2010 and lasted about a year. “We saw some brief improvement in late 2011, early 2012, and now boom! We’re right back in a pretty dry pattern again,” says NOAA meteorologist Victor Murphy. “So, you could make the case that perhaps we’re in the third year of drought here in Texas.” Meteorologists had thought an El Nino weather system would bring a wetter-than-usual winter to Tex ...

NOAA: ARCTIC SEA ICE IS MELTING MUCH, MUCH FASTER than even the most pessimistic climate models had projected Climate change is driving the Arctic Into a ‘New State’ with rapid ice loss and record permafrost warming, wrote the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in its "Arctic Report Card for 2012" published last week. The reason is most likely self-reinforcing, positive feedback loops (think: avalanche). The rapid melting of the Arctic sea ice is highly worrisome because it will accelerate Global Warming, speed up sea level rise, and make deadly superstorms like Sandy more frequent and more destructive. ... Highlights of the report are: - Record low snow extent and low sea ice extent occurred in June and September, respectively. - Growing season length has been increasing along with tundra greenness and above-ground biomass. - Below the tundra, record high permafrost temperatures occurred in northernmost Alaska. - Duration of melting was the longest observed yet on the Greenland ic ...

It's easy to chalk up a harsh or unusual weather event to climate change, a temptation I try to resist. But it's time to call it: if this winter isn't evidence of Global Warming, I don't know what is. We're harvesting rhubarb, which never went dormant. Cabbagewhite butterfly caterpillers, which should be dead by now, are still eating our garden kales. Our tropical flowering ginger, which barely has time to blossom before being scorched by hard frost, has been going for a month now. And on and on. The garden flowers are all 2-4 weeks early--they think it's spring--and we never had that cold-dry time in November/December, when the earth is rock hard, sleeping, and waiting for the rains to revive it. I've been watching the magnolia trees in Berkeley for 29 winters now. There's one tree, on Cedar Street, that I used to mark as the one that would blossom when winter was finally coming to an end, in late January. All the magnolias have flowered just a little earlier and earlier over the years--I'm tired of sayi ...

Republished from The Island Packet Pilot whale beaches, dies at Hunting Island By ERIN MOODY Published Thursday, December 6, 2012 In the end, there was nothing to do but handle the body gently. A crane arm extended slowly over the Hunting Island marsh at the Fripp Island Bridge on Thursday evening. Workers slipped the rope over the 13-foot pilot whale's tail and gave the signal. The glistening black animal slowly rose from the marsh, it's huge body spinning slowly clockwise as the crane eased it up and over the bridge, before carefully lowering it into a trailer for a final journey to Charleston. The young whale was one of several that beached themselves on Lowcountry shores over the past two days, and researchers are seeking clues to what went wrong. "The more we know about it, then we can try to piece the puzzle together as to why these animals might have stranded," Wayne McFee, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration marine biologist, said. The whale will be examined for signs of infection, ill ...

The 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season in 4.5 Minutes: (Courtesy of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.)

Geomagnetic reversal Another idea tied to 2012 involves a geomagnetic reversal (often incorrectly referred to as a pole shift by proponents), possibly triggered by a massive solar flare, that would release an energy equal to 100 billion atomic bombs.[107] This belief is supposedly supported by observations that the Earth's magnetic field is weakening,[108] which could precede a reversal of the north and south magnetic poles. Most scientific estimates, however, say that geomagnetic reversals take between 1,000 and 10,000 years to complete,[109] and do not start on any particular date.[110] Furthermore, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration now predicts that the solar maximum will peak in May 2013, not 2012, and that it will be fairly weak, with a below-average number of sunspots.[111] In any case, there is no scientific evidence linking a solar maximum to a geomagnetic reversal, which is driven by forces entirely within the Earth.[112] Instead, a solar maximum would be mostly notable for ...

New Delhi: For the last few years a satellite image purportedly showing an illuminated India on Diwali night unfailingly does the rounds on social media websites. But the fact is the image put up by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Geophysical Data Centre has nothing to do with Diwali, the festival of lights. While not exactly a hoax, it is something shown out of context.The image in question is actually an overlay of different photos taken by NASA satellites over the years to highlight India's increasing population via night illumination. "The white lights were the only illumination visible before 1992. The blue lights appeared in 1992. The green lights in 1998. And the red lights appeared in 2003," explains a post by Robert Johnson on Business Insider.

Fox News has obtained a report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that documents actions of the Obama Administration that led to the development of Hurricane Sandy. While Sandy was still a tropical depression Obama ordered reconnaissance planes to drop 5 metric tons of dry ice into areas of low barometric pressures of Sandy's eye. Sandy subsequently developed into a hurricane. Initial plans called for the proclamation of Marshall Law and the suspension of elections once Sandy made landfall. Officials in the Obama Administration denied knowledge of the NOAA report.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its latest report about Sandy. As of 5 a.m. EDT, the storm is about 90 miles west of Philadelphia. Maximum sustained winds are 65 mph, so high wind warnings are still in effect. New York and New England will experience gale force winds over coastal waters. And flood watches/warnings will remain in effect over portions of the mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

"superstorm" Share your prayers for those in the hurricane's path.

Michael Snyder | Meteorologists are warning that Hurricane Sandy could potentially be the worst storm to hit the East Coast of the United States in 100 years.

Why is it important to pay taxes? So that we can have functioning government agency's to provide us with information about storms. This amazing photo came from NASA. Having functioning agency's and the information they provide such as the National Weather Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration undoubtedly saved peoples lives during this storm. The first responders saving lives. While FEMA will help to rebuild what was lost. While "small government" may make a good campaign slogan, its during disasters like Sandy that remind us just why our government is important to our lives and what only the government can do for us.

storms have been around for millions of years. In the last 50 years things have changed. The oceans are warmer. This week the waters off the US East Coast were 3 degrees C warmer than normal. The air is warmer at 0.8C (1F) and there is 4 to 6 percent more moisture. This is a fundamental change. The amount of extra heat-energy is like exploding 400,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs per day 365 days per year. This is one of the reasons why I am such a large and powerful storm. All this extra heat is result of human activity — burning fossil fuels and clearing forests. You call these changes human-induced climate change or Global Warming. I am, in part, a result of human-caused climate change. And so were my 19 brother and sister hurricanes and tropical storms this year. So what to call us? We need new words. Some call this time of major human impacts on the planet “The Anthropocene”. A big word to describe a big change: the era when humanity is influencing every aspect of life on the planet. We are the Anthr ...

Hurricane Sandy is moving slowly northeast but is expected to turn to the north and west today, forecasters say. At some point, it’s expected to become what’s known as an extratropical storm. Unlike a hurricane, which gets its power from warm ocean waters, extratropical systems are driven by temperature contrasts in the atmosphere. Although Sandy is a hurricane, it’s important not to focus too much on its official category or its precise path (current models show it making landfall over New Jersey or Delaware sometime late Monday or early Tuesday). Louis Uccellini (LOO’-ee yoo-cheh-LEE’-nee), environmental prediction chief for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told The Associated Press that given Sandy’s east-to-west track into New Jersey, the worst of the storm surge could be just to the north, in New York City, on Long Island and in northern New Jersey. Boston and Philadelphia should expect the worst storm conditions this afternoon into Tuesday morning. It’s a massive sy ...

"This is the worst-case scenario," - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Hurrah for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which let us know Sandy is coming.

Here are some excerpts from today's NJ The Star Ledger... "With a megastorm knocking on New Jersey's door this morning, the state braced for a meteorological monster that experts struggled to find adjectives to describe. When Sandy smashes into the coast tonight, likely as a Category 1 hurricane, it would be only the third hurricane in history to hit the state. The last hurricane to hit New Jersey was almost 110 years ago, when 80 mph winds scoured Atlantic City in September 1903. That came nearly 101 years after an October 1804 hurricane, which also made landfall in Atlantic City, sank or beached many ships." "According to a metric that measures overall hurricane intensity, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said yesterday that Sandy’s overall kinetic energy is forecast to be a 5.2 on a scale of 0 to 6, putting it on par with historically devastating hurricanes like Katrina." "We’re looking at potentially breaking the record-high water mark at Sandy Hook by 1 or perhaps 2 feet. That ...

While appreciating all the TV attention that Sandy is getting, he's afraid it's just become white noise to those in potential harms way. I asked him if he could talk to the local folk directly, what would you say and he replied: "Pay Attention. Stay safe and err on the side of caution if possible. By all means, unless you absolutely have to, don't leave your house tomorrow until the storm passes Tuesday and even then, be careful." So - I told him I'd share it with y'all.

The latest on Hurricane Sandy from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Prepare for Hurricane Sandy; Ignore Hype October 27, 2012 6:38 PM By ELLIS HENICAN (Newsday) It's not a nor'easter. It's more than that. And Sandy isn't your typical hurricane. So what exactly are we supposed to call this pre-Halloween weather monster that forecasters say is roaring at us? Please, not Frankenstorm, whatever those heavy breathers on the TV weather reports might be saying now. That's a hype term, pure and simple, and none of the actual models is going beyond Cat 2 or 3. Shouldn't we save the Franken-anything for the truly monstrous? Ditto with 100-year storm. Hundred-year storms keep coming far more often than centuries do. Maybe winter-storm hybrid. That's one expression the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, usually a sober organization, has been tossing around this weekend, and it's at least halfway right. Sandy is part-hurricane and part-regular storm -- though winter is still nearly two months away. Fall hybrid, anyone? By any name, this much is already clear: It's too so ...

Will a Hurricane Sandy, winter storm hybrid, dubbed a "Frankenstorm" by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, ravage the U.S. East Coast? Hurricane Sandy has already slammed Cuba, bringing heavy rain and winds around 110 miles per hour on Thursday, as it moved north.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shares the latest model of Hurricane Sandy as it approaches the coast.

The wreck of a 109-year-old schooner was discovered on the ocean floor near Los Angeles last year after two decades of searching, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced today (Oct. 23).

This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report' Are there subjects that just wear you out? Things you find yourself discussing again and again, yet there never seems to be a conclusion reached? For me, one of those "are we talking about this again?" subjects is "man-made Global Warming." In the new PC vernacular, it's "climate change." And the answer is, "Yes, we are talking about this again." However, this time, it's a bit of a surprise. Recently, the British Met Office (I'm supposing that "Met" is the shortened version of "meteorological" since the British Met Office is Britain's weather bureau or the equivalent to our National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) very quietly released an interesting report. And it's interesting because it seems to debunk a theory that the Brits were largely responsible for promoting to world prominence. Apparently, a number of world-class scientists considered new data from more than 3,000 locations on land and sea. Their conclusion? There has been no appreciable global ...

Gulf fishing rebounded in 2011 to the highest volume in more than a decade, according to a report the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released Wednesday.

A California businessman chartered a fishing boat in July, loaded it with 100 tons of iron dust and cruised through Pacific waters off western Canada, spewing his cargo into the sea in an ecological experiment that has outraged scientists and government officials. The 'entrepreneur', whose foray came to light only this week, even duped the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the United States into lending him ocean-monitoring buoys for the project. Canada’s environment ministry says it is investigating the experiment, which was carried out with no government or scientific oversight. A spokesman said the ministry had warned the venture in advance that its plan would violate international agreements. Marine scientists and other experts have assailed the experiment as unscientific, irresponsible and probably in violation of those agreements, which are intended to prevent tampering with ocean ecosystems under the guise of trying to fight the effects of climate change. Though the environmental ...

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says mermaids are not real. /

In the U.S., the Weather Modification Association reports that "Thirty-two states have enacted legislation dealing with weather modification. Several states have developed statutes which permit the use of state funds for state/county cost sharing weather modification operations." US government agencies involved in weather modification and/or operations include: The US Air Force, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, The U.S. Dept. of the Interior, and the National Science Foundation (source: Weather Modification: Some Facts About Cloud Seeding , Pg. 11). China also regularly uses cloud-seeding to control weather, including before the 2008 Beijing Olympics when the government fired 1,100 rockets into the sky to keep the opening ceremony dry (see stories by USA Today and The Independent). The health impact on humans, insects, soil and agriculture from the chemicals used to modify the weather are of great concern to many.
