Are you prepared for hurricane season? Dig into the mechanics of a hurricane, flight and ground meteorology, and what it takes to be a NOAA Hurricane Hunter pilot with Rear Admiral Nancy Hann and special guests.
SYMONE BARKLEY : Welcome back to Planet NOAA. I’m your host, Symone Barkley, and I’m the National Ocean Service Exhibits Manager and an Education Specialist. Here at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, we help the nation understand, prepare for, and mitigate the impacts of dangerous storms. Today, you’ll hear from our weather experts – including one of our courageous Hurricane Hunter pilots – to get an inside look at severe weather in advance of hurricane season.
DILIBERTO: So, NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch scientists have found that the globe is currently experiencing its fourth global coral bleaching event. Healthy corals have a symbiotic relationship with a type of algae called zooxanthellae that live inside of their tissues. This algae acts as the primary food source for corals and also gives them their distinctive coloring.
HOST: Jamie, as a hurricane specialist, can you tell us a bit about the National Hurricane Center’s work? HOST: First of all, what kind of snacks are y’all normally having when you're in the kitchen making snacks? HOST: Wow. You know, thank you so much, Kevin, for sharing that story. It's pretty clear that these missions help researchers to better understand and prepare for storms. And so I also want to say thank you to you and your copilots and everyone else on the team who are doing this incredibly brave work to gather information on storms and keep Americans safe in the face of severe weather. We appreciate it.
RHOME: I have for 25 years, you know, one of my jobs is I go into communities after they've been hit by a devastating hurricane.
RHOME: I think in terms of physical meteorology or physical science, we're approaching what we call the limits of predictability; meaning, I don't think we're going to see the radical advances in predictive accuracy that we've seen over the past ten years. The next frontier for us, I think, is understanding how to communicate with people. I mean, the way people consume information now is totally different than the way they consumed information ten years ago.
DOREMUS: Yeah. So they're designed to be one time use, and they are made of a cardboard-like material so that when it hits the water, over time, they will disintegrate. FELDKIRCHER: And I would just like to add on that if you didn't know, very similar to those Hurricane Hunter missions being 24/7, the Weather Service also operates 24/7. And when we are getting a hurricane, when we are getting severe weather, when we are getting winter storms, we are likely working over time, but it's that feeling of serving you all that gives us that energy and that drive to keep going forward. I mean, it's such a rewarding job.
HOST: Did You NOAA that our agency’s ships and aircraft comprise the largest fleet of federal research vessels in the nation? Clocking in at 15 research & survey ships and 10 specialized aircraft, our Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, or OMAO, has tons of exciting scientific projects underway. Today, I’m thrilled to welcome Rear Admiral Nancy Hann to the Leadership Corner to chat about some of NOAA’s missions both in the water and far above us in the sky.
HOST: Wow, that’s really amazing. I will say that when I go to events and we’re meeting students or folks that are interested in moving on in their careers, when we talk about the NOAA Corps, folks get really excited. They’re always amazed by the work that the officers are doing, and they say, you know, “I had no idea that NOAA was doing this.” So we definitely see the on-the-ground impact of the NOAA Corps.
HOST: That’s pretty incredible, and that makes a major difference when it comes to ordering evacuations. Aside from the missions we’ve already talked about, where can we find OMAO’s mark on the world right now?
