Samples collected by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission last week revealed varying levels of the microscopic algae Karenia brevis, offshore of Manatee, Sarasota, Collier and Lee counties.

Before Hurricane Ian slammed into Florida’s southwest coast with 155 mph winds, it went through two separate bursts of so-called “rapid intensification” when a cyclone’s top wind speeds rise by 35 mph in a single day.

Here is the latest update on Ian including the tracking, timing, strength, and concerns along the Gulf Coast.

Sunglint is a natural optic phenomenon which makes the surface of a body of water look like a silver mirror if one is viewing from outer space.

By comparing the temperature measurements taken during Ida and other hurricanes with satellite and other atmospheric data, scientists can better understand the role the oceans play in the rapid intensification of storms, allowing them to fine-tune the computer model simulations used in forecasts to provide more detailed and accurate warnings in the futures.

Here's why you should consider investing in lumber and energy stocks on a seasonal basis.

WASHINGTON — The Gulf Research Program (GRP) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine announced $4.6 million in awards to support three project teams undertaking research to improve the forecasting of sea level rise along the Gulf Coast of the United States. The three-year initiative will focus on the oceanic component of sea level variation along the Gulf Coast.

The continental shelf is the submerged extension of a continent and as such it is at the crossroad of terrestrial, oceanic and atmospheric influences. This confluence is the lead driver of the high biological productivity that often characterizes the continental shelf regions. Their productivity is not only critical to the ecosystems that it sustains but also to the livelihood of coastal communities such as tourism, fishing, aquaculture and more.
