Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has the statutory mandate to collect hydrographic data in support of nautical chart compilation for safe navigation and to provide background data for engineers, scientific, and other commercial and industrial activities. Hydrographic survey data primarily consist of water depths, but may also include features (e.g. rocks, wrecks), navigation aids, shoreline identification, and bottom type information. NOAA is responsible for archiving and distributing the source data as described in this metadata record.

Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS) Level 1 Raw and Calibrated Radiance Products (TRMM Product 1B01) V6
Published By National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Issued over 9 years ago
Summary
Description
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a joint U.S.-Japan satellite mission to monitor tropical and subtropical precipitation. The Level 1B product file (1B01) contains calibrated radiances and auxiliary geolocation information for each pixel in the scan. The Level 1B data are stored in the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF), which includes both core and product specific metadata applicable to the VIRS measurements. A file contains a single orbit of data with a file size of about 87 MB (uncompressed). The HDF-EOS "swath" structure is used to accommodate the actual geophysical data arrays. As in the case of the Level 1A data, there are 16 files of VIRS 1B01 data produced per day. For channels 1 and 2, Level 1B radiances are derived from the Level 1A sensor counts by computing calibration parameters (gain and offset) derived from the counts registered during space and solar and/or lunar views. New calibration parameters are produced every 1 to 4 weeks. Bands 3, 4, and 5 are calibrated using the internal blackbody and the space view. These two data points, together with a quadratic term determined pre-launch, are used to generate a counts vs. radiance curve for each band, which is then used to convert the earth-view pixel counts to spectral radiances. For the Level 1B data, geolocation and channel data are written out for each pixel along the scan, whereas the time stamp, scan status (containing scan quality information), navigation, calibration coefficients, and satellite/ solar geometry are specified on a per-scan basis. There are in general 18026 scans along the orbit with each scan consisting of 261 pixels. The scan width is about 720 km. Spatial coverage is between 38 degrees North and 38 degrees South owing to the 35 degree inclination of the TRMM satellite. This orbit provides extensive coverage in the tropics and allows each location to be covered at a different local time each day, enabling the analysis of the diurnal cycle of precipitation.

Every year, the USCG compiles statistics on reported recreational boating accidents. These statistics are derived from accident reports that are filed by the owners / operators of recreational vessels involved in accidents. The fifty states, five U.S. territories and the District of Columbia submit accident report data to the USCG for inclusion in the annual Boating Statistics publication.

Summary
Description
Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD); and (3) special designations recognizing waters of exceptional quality as defined in State water quality standards. Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers). Information on State-designated uses and waters of exceptional quality are only available for a limited number of parks at this time.

The report begins with an introduction to the refuge and a summary of the years climatic and habitat conditions. Land acquisition is covered in the next section. Planning and administration sections are provided next. There is a habitat management section which covers wetlands, forests and croplands. The wildlife section of the report provides information on endangeredthreatened species, waterfowl and game animals. There is also a section on public use; specifically, hunting, fishing and trapping. The final section discusses new construction and maintenance projects at the refuges
Characterizing exposure and potential impacts of contaminants on seabirds nesting at South San Diego Bay Unit of the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge (Salt Works, San Diego Bay)

Summary
Description
In 2005, a twoyear USFWS study 12611N74 was initiated to characterize contaminant exposure by seabirds that nest in colonies at the South Bay Salt Works, within the boundaries of the South San Diego Bay Unit of the San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge NWR, CA. This study was conducted in response to observations by seabird colony monitors that black skimmers, in particular have an apparent high incidence of cracked and dented eggs, and posthatch chick mortality. Egg cracking and denting and chick mortality during and after hatching may be contaminantrelated. Concerns were raised, that all of the seabird species nesting at the Salt Works may be experiencing some level of reproductive impairment related to contaminant exposure. This study entailed the collection and analysis of failed eggs of black skimmer, Caspian terns, elegant terns and federally endangered California least terns, and of forage fish that are potentially consumed by seabirds while nesting at the Salt Works. Fifteen skimmer eggs, five Caspian tern eggs, five elegant tern and ten least tern eggs, and 20 composite forage fish samples were collected at the Salt Works during the 2005 nesting season. All of the seabird eggs were evaluated for standard metrics and eggshell thickness. Five composite samples of least tern eggs 2 per sample and individual eggs of black skimmer N15, Caspian tern N5 and elegant tern eggs N5 were submitted to laboratories under contract with the Services Analytical Control Facility catalog 1040073 for chemical analysis. Composite whole body samples of forage fish were submitted for chemical analyses as well. Samples of forage fish included 5 composites of California killifish, 3 composites of topsmelt, and 12 composites of longjaw mudsucker gobiideae. Eggs and fish were analyzed for lipid content, metals, organochlorine pesticides, organotins, polychlorinated biphenyl PCB congeners, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers PBDEs.

NOAA CoastWatch distributes near real time Ekman current (in zonal, meridional, and modulus sets) and Ekman upwelling data. This data begins with wind velocity measurements from the ASCAT instrument onboard EUMETSAT's ASCAT satellite. ASCAT is a microwave scatterometer designed to measure surface winds over the global ocean. NOAA CoastWatch processes wind velocity to wind stress and wind stress curl, and finally to Ekman current and Ekman upwelling.
