Monitoring Our Climate: The Value of Atmospheric Reference Observations Harbor Branch Consortium Becomes NOAA’s Newest Cooperative Institute -- NOAA announced the award of a new cooperative institute to focus on ocean exploration, research, and technology development for the U.S. East Coast. The institute is a consortium to be led by and headquartered at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University in Fort Pierce, Fla. The University of North Carolina Wilmington will be the co-managing partner and limited partners are SRI International, St. Petersburg, Fla., and the University of Miami. Network of Research Buoys in Indian Ocean to Improve Monsoon Prediction -- A new array of moored buoys in the Indian Ocean will provide critical climate and ocean data to help scientists predict the dramatic variations between seasonal monsoon rains and droughts. 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. 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.
