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.

To determine the relative needs of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Federal Highway Administration FHWA was asked to inventory all public access and administrative Service use only roads and parking lots and provide a condition assessment of each. This report summarizes the inventory for Mora National Fish Hatchery.All roads and parking lots were mapped using Trimble GPS units and visually assessed for condition using the RSL method of evaluation developed at Utah State University. A cost estimate for maintenance and construction of roads is provided in the report.

Summary
Description
XBT data were collected from the NOAA Ship ALBATROSS IV and other Platforms in support of the Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS). Data were collected by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and other institutions from 02 June 1982 to 22 June 1983. Data were processed by NODC to the NODC standard Universal Bathythermograph Output (UBT) format. Full format description is available from NODC at www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Archive/bt.html. The UBT file format is used for temperature-depth profile data obtained using expendable bathythermograph (XBT) instruments. Standard XBTs can obtain profiles at depths of about 450 or 760 m. With special instruments, measurements can be obtained to 1830 m. Cruise information, position, date, and time are reported for each observation. The data record comprises pairs of temperature-depth values. Unlike the MBT data file, in which temperature values are recorded at uniform 5m intervals, the XBT Data File contains temperature values at non-uniform depths. These depths are at a minimum number of points ("inflection points") required to record the temperature curve to an acceptable degree of accuracy. On output, however, the user may request temperature values either at inflection points or interpolated to uniform depth increments.

The SeaWiFS instrument was launched by Orbital Sciences Corporation on the OrbView-2 (a.k.a. SeaStar) satellite in August 1997, and collected data from September 1997 until the end of mission in December 2010. SeaWiFS had 8 spectral bands from 412 to 865 nm. It collected global data at 4 km resolution, and local data (limited onboard storage and direct broadcast) at 1 km. The mission and sensor were optimized for ocean color measurements, with a local noon (descending) equator crossing time orbit, fore-and-aft tilt capability, full dynamic range, and low polarization sensitivity.

MODIS (or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument aboard the Terra (EOS AM) and Aqua (EOS PM) satellites. Terra's orbit around the Earth is timed so that it passes from north to south across the equator in the morning, while Aqua passes south to north over the equator in the afternoon. Terra MODIS and Aqua MODIS are viewing the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands, or groups of wavelengths (see MODIS Technical Specifications). These data will improve our understanding of global dynamics and processes occurring on the land, in the oceans, and in the lower atmosphere. MODIS is playing a vital role in the development of validated, global, interactive Earth system models able to predict global change accurately enough to assist policy makers in making sound decisions concerning the protection of our environment.

Description
From February to May 1987 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted five cruises to cover the U.S. Atlantic Continental Margin Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) seaward of the continental shelf edge, and from the Canadian border southward to the northern Blake Plateau off Florida. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. Twenty-three digital mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree (or smaller) area with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the U.S. Atlantic Continental Margin region.

Description
Many of the known hazing techniques or deterrents were observed during this survey. We are dealing with a wide array of birds in varying physical condition responding to available water in the desert. Although these devicesstructures appear to work on some species under some circumstances, birds continue to die in the presence of deterrents. As a group it can be said such efforts are better than doing nothing, but we have no expectation that they will eliminate mortality of migratory birds. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service does not recommend hazing techniques or deterrents as a means of compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Migratory bird mortality through cyanide toxicosis may be eliminated at heap leach extraction facilities and mill tailings ponds through initial designs or retrofit structures which deny birds access to toxic solutions. Mill tailings ponds are being successfully detoxified with chemical agents. Where relatively low concentrations of cyanide are required for mill extraction, opportunities may exist to rely upon and enhance natural detoxification. Both forms of detoxification require a longterm maintenance commitment. Hazing techniques or deterrents are not recommended as a solution where migratory bird mortality occurs.

I evaluated vacuum sampling to estimate annual seed availability. On average, vacuum sampling recovered 88 CV 0.68 of known seed masses, and enabled efficient processing of samples .X 30.3 3 SE minsample. During falls 20012002, I evaluated methods to estimate seed availability in moistsoil habitats. Neither vacuumcollected nor seedtrap samples predicted availability of seeds or tubers in core samples r2 0.0030.18. Therefore, I used core sampling in fall 2002 to estimate mean seed and tuber biomass in managed moistsoil habitats in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley MA V which overall was 611 kgha, dry mass CV 24. Intensive management resulted in greatest seed and tuber biomass 1,184 kgha, CV 17. I recommend continued estimation of seed and tuber biomass in the MAV and evaluation of seedtuber production and costbenefits of management.
