In case you missed it! A NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration and Esri partnership will create the prototype for a one-of-a-kind, open-data platform to provide equitable, actionable, and ready-to-use ocean and coastal data for decision makers and communities. The platform will leverage NOAA’s massive stores of world-class data with Esri’s geospatial technical innovations and capabilities to help users address critical issues, with information tailored to their needs. https://lnkd.in/eDx8fRff NOAA Research

About us
The NOAA Technology Partnerships Office (TPO) is a research support office that drives innovation across NOAA. TPO oversees two programs: the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program and the Technology Transfer Program. Through its programs, TPO awards grants to small businesses to support technological innovation, manages NOAA’s intellectual property portfolio, helps transfer NOAA technology to the commercial market, and facilitates NOAA’s public-private research partnerships. As NOAA’s primary interface with private-sector innovation, TPO supports the NOAA mission, stimulates innovation, and strengthens the U.S. economy.

Congratulations to Gulf Wind Technology for receiving #SBIR funding to pursue their research!
We are thrilled to announce that we have received funding from NOAA Technology Partnerships Office's SBIR program to support our research into the quantification of risks posed by extreme weather events, specifically tropical storms and hurricanes, to wind energy projects. 🌪️ What does this funding mean? This support will enable us to develop a cutting-edge risk assessment method that combines advanced modeling techniques, including physics-based and statistical machine learning approaches, with NOAA's vast hurricane data. Our goal is to create a robust framework that will help the energy insurance industry better understand and mitigate the risks to onshore and offshore wind farms, especially in hurricane-prone regions like the Gulf of Mexico and the Southeast U.S. 💡 Why is this important? As the U.S. offshore wind market continues to expand rapidly, ensuring the resilience and sustainability of these projects is crucial. This tool will play a key role in supporting the insurance industry, developers, and stakeholders in making informed decisions, ultimately contributing to the growth of renewable energy and the achievement of national climate goals. Thank you to NOAA for this incredible opportunity! We look forward to collaborating with our partners and continuing to push the boundaries of innovation in the wind energy sector. Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey! #WindEnergy #Technology #Innovation #RenewableTech #Hurricanes #Engineering #NOAA #GWT

See a great example of how NOAA public-private partnerships continue to advance knowledge of Earth systems! NOAA Research National Weather Service National Data Buoy Center
This month marks one year since a Saildrone Explorer replaced a National Data Buoy Center buoy off the coast of California. While on station, the USV has provided weather data about approaching storms, contributing to a system of systems—buoys and USVs working in concert to create the full picture of the dynamic ocean environment. 🛟🌊 NDBC Director Dr. William Burnett describes four areas where he’d like to see Saildrone USVs leveraged to improve the larger picture of ocean observations: “First, targeted observations to improve numerical weather prediction. Second, to provide broader spatial awareness in under-sampled areas, where it might be cost-prohibitive to deploy a group of buoys. Third, in our national marine sanctuaries, where moorings and anchors are harmful to the seafloor. And lastly, in the event of buoy outages, uncrewed systems on standby can be deployed to maintain observations in key areas.” NOAA Marine and Aviation Operations has provided funding for one additional year of Saildrone observations in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. What will happen to that weather station in the future remains to be seen. Learn more about the mission here ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/g2V49sS3

We're always excited to see the many ways NOAA supports and encourages young people to become our future scientists and leaders!
This summer, the South Carolina Aquarium hosted the first in-person Coastal Ecosystem Learning Center (CELC) Youth Summit from July 24-27. This CELC Youth Summit was organized by the NOAA Office of Education with support from eeBLUE (North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE)). Teens from the seven different aquariums in the CELC Network participated in networking experiences with speakers from different careers and backgrounds, worked together as a team to construct 26 manufactured wire oyster reefs, and gained insights on developing and executing their own action projects in their aquarium communities. Throughout the whole youth summit experience, the teens bonded with each other and became motivated to advocate for a cause they are passionate about. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gTmkNEyv
