Monitoring Our Climate: The Value of Atmospheric Reference Observations NOAA Brings Great Lakes to Google Ocean -- NOAA is helping Americans peer beneath the surfaces of the five Great Lakes by providing Google Earth with data that now includes detailed three-dimensional mapping of Lakes Huron, Ontario, Erie, Superior and Michigan. Greenhouse Gases Continue to Climb Despite Economic Slump National Tornado Experiment to Begin in May -- A collaborative nationwide project exploring the origins, structure and evolution of tornadoes will occur from May 10 through June 13 in the central United States. The project, Verification of Origin of Rotation in Tornadoes EXperiment2 (VORTEX2 or V2), is the largest and most ambitious attempt to study tornadoes in history and will involve more than 50 scientists and 40 research vehicles, including 10 mobile radars. Russian Academy of Sciences Vice President Visits OAR Headquarters; Discusses Joint Climate Research -- Dr. Richard Spinrad, assistant administrator, NOAA Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, and Dr. Nikolai Laverov, vice president, Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), held an early spring meeting at NOAA’s Silver Spring headquarters to reaffirm research issues highlighted in the 2003 memorandum of understanding (MOU). Ice-Free Arctic Summers Likely Sooner Than Expected -- Summers in the Arctic may be ice-free in as few as 30 years, not at the end of the century as previously expected. The updated forecast is the result of a new analysis of computer models coupled with the most recent summer ice measurements. Maintaining an active constituent relations program ensures that OAR and NOAA leadership communicate effectively and often with their most important customers. The recent Commerce and Transportation Roundtable solicited input to ensure NOAA’s research priorities support the Nation's commerce and transportation activities by providing information for safe, efficient, and environmentally sound transportation.
