NOAA Satellite May Be Back Online Soon, Official Says
2013-05-31 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: A vital weather satellite that blinked out on May 22 may be back in service as early as June 5, according to an official at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The satellite, known as GOES-13, suffered from an unexplained change in its orientation toward the Earth -- what NOAA calls an "attitude disturbance' -- that caused its instruments to shut down automatically. So far, engineers working to restart the satellite have not found any signs of damage, nor have they found an...

Bill Would Shift NOAA Resources from Climate Research
2013-05-29 00:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: A bill being drafted in the House could potentially undermine the climate science research activities and the oceans programs of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It also would open up the weather satellite sector, which has been a troubled area for NOAA in recent years, to more privatization. The bill, known as the "Weather Forecasting Improvement Act,' would put more emphasis on research and development of new weather forecasting capabilities for anticipating near-term,...

NOAA Satellite Malfunctions, May Affect Forecasts
2013-05-22 21:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: As the weather system that spawned the deadly Moore tornado moves eastward, the main weather satellite used for observing and forecasting conditions across eastern North America and the Atlantic Ocean has gone offline. It's the second malfunction since September 2012, when a technical glitch was fixed by engineers working from the ground. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which operates the nation's fleet of weather satellites, the satellite, known as GOES-13,...

Carbon dioxide passes 400 ppm milestone, NOAA finds
2013-05-11 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: On May 9, the amount of carbon dioxide in the air exceeded 400 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in the observational record since 1958, and very likely for the first time in at least 800,000 years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Friday. This marks the first time the daily average CO2 concentration has risen past 400 ppm in the iconic record kept by the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, where daily observations go back to 1958, Climate scientists...
