Interannual Variability of UV Irradiance, Ozone and Aerosol Chemistry in the Arctic:
The NOAA-supported project "Interannual Variability of UV Irradiance, Ozone and Aerosol Chemistry in the Arctic" is a collaborative effort of scientists to improve the monitoring and analysis of the UV irradiance climatology in Alaska.

The Origin of the Great Lakes Zebra Mussels:
Since the zebra mussels first invaded the Great Lakes in 1988, research has centered on understanding the impacts these mussels have had on the Great Lakes' economy and ecology.

Clues from Climatology: When and Where Do Tornadoes Occur?:
Tornadoes that hit Washington, D.C. suburbs Sept. 22 illustrate a fact often stated by weather forecasters: "Tornadoes can and do happen any time of the year in just about any location."

Why Can We Still Fish for American Lobsters?:
The American lobster (Homarus americanus) is one of the highest valued species exploited by New England fisheries.

NOAA's Floating Laboratory Conducts Science at Sea:
Singer James Brown may bill himself as the "Hardest Working Man in Show Business," but among ships, the title of "Hardest Working Research Vessel" could easily be bestowed upon NOAA's Ronald H. Brown.

BOTTOM LIFE-- Posey Digs Deep to Unlock Nature’s Secrets:
As a tiny wave ripples onto a sandy marsh off the Cape Fear River, North Carolina Sea Grant researcher Martin Posey stands knee deep in soft mud.

Three Years of Impact: Climate Information Project Climate-Weather Impact Updates:
Human activity is guided, if not forged by, the various climates in which we live.

Submarine Faults of the San Andreas: Southern California's Hidden Hazards:
The San Andreas fault system forms the boundary where the Pacific and North American plates grind past each other at 5.5 cm/year.

Advancing the understanding of ground-level ozone pollution:
Research led by scientists at the NOAA Aeronomy Laboratory has illustrated two major factors that could be used to help guide future programs designed to clean up the air downwind of the Nation's fossil-fuel burning electric power plants: the size of the power plant, and the location of the power plant.

Diving to Great Depths:
If you're interested in how the body reacts to severe stress, whether it be encountered at great depths, high altitude or heavy exercise, researcher Claes Lundgren says, "It is useful to push the body to its limits."
