The survey highlights collaboration between the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center and local fishers, who work together to gather data on Hawai‘i bottomfish – a significant cultural and commercial resource.
As we saw just last Sunday and many other times this season, temperatures are sometimes right on the borderline of freezing when precipitation arrives. That is especially true here in
July 21, 2021 They're beautiful & contribute $375B to the world's economy! On our 4th episode of the American Blue Economy Podcast, we explore coral reefs. Coral reefs contribute to the US economy through areas such as dive tourism (June’s episode), support to fisheries (August), and contributions to coastal resilience (November). By one estimate, coral reefs provide economic goods and services worth about $375 billion each year worldwide. NOAA suggests that coral reefs in southeast Florida, for example, have an asset value of $8.5 billion, generating $4.4 billion in local sales, $2 bil...
It’s 35 degrees in the Lake Tahoe Basin and the weather calls for precipitation. Will it be rain or snow? Turns out, that is not an easy question for scientists to answer. However, scientists at the Desert Research Institute, with the help of citizen scientists, are trying to find an easier answer to that question with their ‘Tahoe Rain or Snow?’ project. Keith Jennings, a water resource scientist with Lynker Technologies is the “data guru” on the project. “In a water resources model, it’s really easy to predict snowfall when it’s cold, so say 20 degrees, it’s almost alwa...

(Feb. 22, 2021)- Normally, we think of the freezing point of water as 32°F - but in the world of weather forecasting and hydrologic prediction, that isn't always the case. In the Lake Tahoe region of the Sierra Nevada, the shift from snow to rain during winter storms may actually occur at temperatures closer to 39.5°F, according to ...
