Technology Week: Launching into the Future with Advanced Technologies
By fisheries.noaa.gov, fisheries.noaa.gov. NOAA scientists rely on cutting-edge technology to collect and analyze the data needed to manage our ocean resources and habitats. Because some ocean creatures live in remote areas and have complex life cycles, better understanding them requires unique tools. By leveraging advanced technologies, we gather critical data to… SEE MORE
Giving North Atlantic Right Whales a Check-Up Using Advanced Technology
By fisheries.noaa.gov, fisheries.noaa.gov. This story is part three of a three-part series. Read about how we are listening for North Atlantic right whales with passive acoustics, monitoring them with aerial surveys, and using boats, drones, uncrewed surface vehicles and satellites to learn as much as we can about them and their habitat.… SEE MORE
NOAA Scientists Discover Repeat Spawning in Pacific Capelin
By fisheries.noaa.gov, fisheries.noaa.gov. For certain fish species, like Pacific salmon, reproduction is a once-in-a-lifetime event, known as semelparity. Many other fish are iteroparous—meaning they can spawn repeatedly throughout their lives. New research by NOAA’s Alaska Fisheries Science Center reveals the first evidence that Pacific capelin can be repeat spawners. Over the past decade,… SEE MORE

The Hadal Zone's Squishy Survivor: How the World's Deepest Fish Thrives Under Crushing Pressure
By Evan Lubofsky, whoi.edu. At the very bottom of the ocean — in the hadal zone, where pressure is 1,100 times greater than at the surface — lives a fish that looks like it has no business surviving anywhere, let alone in the most extreme environment on the planet. The… SEE MORE
NOAA’s Use Of Cloud Infrastructure Grows To Include Weather Prediction Models
By noaa.gov, noaa.gov. In the latest innovation to NOAA’s operational weather forecast model technology, the agency announced today that it is moving its high-performance supercomputing operations to the commercial cloud. This transition of NOAA’s Weather and Climate Operational Supercomputing System (WCOSS) supports current and future improvements to NOAA’s suite of… SEE MORE
Why NOAA Matters: Maine's Island Institute Makes the Case
Why NOAA Matters: Maine’s Island Institute Makes the Case Every mariner who checks a forecast before leaving the dock, every harbormaster tracking a king tide, and every fishing family checking for water temperature shifts is relying, often without thinking about it, on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, commonly shortened… SEE MORE
Deep Diving and Innovation to Restore the Gulf's Mesophotic Corals
By fisheries.noaa.gov, fisheries.noaa.gov. Deep in the Gulf of America lies a vital but little-known habitat. In the “mesophotic” (middle light) zone are coral ecosystems that are essential to the Gulf’s food web. In 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill injured extensive areas of this delicate environment. Today, scientists across federal agencies and… SEE MORE
Going With The Flow: Visualizing Ocean Currents with ECCO
By James Riordon, science.nasa.gov. Historically, the ocean has been difficult to model. Scientists struggled in years past to simulate ocean currents or accurately predict fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and other properties. As a result, models of ocean dynamics rapidly diverged from reality, which meant they could only provide useful information… SEE MORE
Humpback Whale Successfully Freed from Entanglement in Endicott Arm
By fisheries.noaa.gov, fisheries.noaa.gov. The Tracy Arm-Fords Terror wilderness, located 50 miles south of Juneau, Alaska, features a pair of steep glacial fjords: Tracy Arm and Endicott Arm. While remote, the waters in this area see steady vessel traffic, ranging from massive cruise ships and small charter boats to commercial fishing… SEE MORE
