Seeking a new Director of the AOML Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystems Division - Closing October 23rd.

Put on your virtual reality (VR) googles and follow scientists into the field at NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML)! Fly with them into the eye of a hurricane onboard one of NOAA's Hurricane Hunter aircraft, or dive below the ocean surface to study coral reefs in Florida. The important research conducted by NOAA helps society prepare for and remain resilient to changes in our environment. #noaa #oar #aoml #hurricanes #coralreefs #science #research #stem #virtualreality #oceanography #meteorology #weather #oceans https://lnkd.in/ewYtTkj7

NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) is seeking a new Director of our Ocean Chemistry and Ecosystems Division to lead a team of scientists working to support NOAA's mission to understand oceans and coasts, to aid in conservation and management of marine ecosystems, and to predict changes to these valuable resources. Scientists with expertise in fields including oceanography, chemistry, and ecology are encouraged to apply. Announcement for Supervisory Research Physical Scientist, ZP-1301-5, located in Miami, FL, will open 10/9/2024 and close on 10/23/2024.

I would like to recognize all those NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration staff that are critical to the issuance of hurricane forecasts. My colleagues at the National Hurricane Center use data collected from the storms by NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) researchers aboard operational hurricane reconnaissance flights with pilots and crew from NOAA’s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations. Those NHC forecasters use models developed over years by AOML scientists and academic partners. Research by our Noaa National Severe Storms Laboratory has led to improvements in tornado warnings issued in association with landfalling hurricanes, and those at our NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory (PSL) have worked on precipitation modeling, aiding the issuance of warnings for excessive rainfall and flooding. Hundreds of federal employees and partners have worked, both around the clock during Hurricanes Helene and Milton and over many years, with the sole purpose of providing unbiased life- and property-saving information to those in harms way. I am humbled by their sense of public service, their dedication, and their personal sacrifice to help others. Thank you, all! #research #hurricane

Inside Hurricane Milton, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and Saildrone are gathering oceanic and atmospheric observations. On Wednesday October 9th, saildrone 1083 reported maximum significant wave height of 28.12 feet (8.57m), and wind gusts as strong as 75.95 mph (66kts) while 40 nautical miles from the center of the storm. Saildrones are uncrewed surface vehicles uniquely designed to gather temperature, pressure, wind speed, and wave height data from both the upper ocean and lowest levels of the atmosphere. These observations are critical in forecasting what conditions we can expect on the ground when a storm is making landfall. This vital research represents a collaborative endeavor between Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), NOAA Research, and Saildrone to better understand the role of the ocean in hurricanes.

Few know what it takes for the National Weather Service to issue accurate hurricane forecasts, enabling citizens to prepare and emergency responders to preposition assets. NOAA Research scientists and partners work for years to develop observing systems and models that are used to forecast hurricane tracks and intensity, storm surge, hurricane-associated tornados, precipitation, and inland flooding. Those of us that are consumers of the National Weather Service's forecasts unknowingly rely on the innovation and dedication of these scientists and engineers. Kudos to you. Thank you for all that you do on a daily basis to make the public safer in the face of extreme weather hazards. #noaa #research #hurricane

Inside Hurricane Helene 🌀 Saildrone and NOAA Research worked together this week to direct two Saildrone Explorer USVs into Hurricane Helene to gather data at the air-sea interface during the storm. On Thursday, September 26, at 6:16pm ET, SD-1083 captured this video and measured 9.06 meter (29.7 ft) significant wave height and 71.82 kt wind gusts. Visit hurricanes.gov for detailed forecasts, watches, and warnings, and follow the guidance of local officials. Saildrones are uncrewed surface vehicles powered by wind and solar energy and remotely piloted. They are capable of making multiple concurrent measurements of the environment, including wind speed, wave height, temperature, pressure, and salinity. This mission is a collaboration between NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) and Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) Lab, and Saildrone. 📷: Video of stormy water captured from saildrone SD-1083’s onboard camera at the eyewall of Hurricane Helene
