Close window NMSP WEST COAST OBSERVATORIES INTERACTIVE MAP ABSTRACT This map displays data layers representing the locations of various ocean observing systems along the West Coast. DATA DESCRIPTION OBSERVATIONS NOS-PORTS - The Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTSÆ) is a program of the National Ocean Service that supports safe and cost-efficient navigation by providing ship masters and pilots with accurate real-time information required to avoid groundings and collisions. More information NDBC-Buoys - This layer provides basic information and on-line access to buoys available from the National Data Buoy Center. NOS-NWLON - The National Water Level Observation Network (NWLON) consists of 175 stations - every station measures water level and several stations also measure other parameters. More information NOS-NCOP - The National Current Observation Program (NCOP) is presently an observation program relying upon the deployment of ADCP current profiler systems at selected location in the U.S. coastal zone. Station locations are driven by user requirements and the national need for new and updated tidal current information. Surface Marine Measurements - This layer contains the last 48 hours worth of meteorological and oceanographic measurements collected by coastal ocean observing systems. These basic measurements include air and water temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, significant wave height, wave direction, barometric pressure and tendency, and visibility. The data set includes reports from many observing networks run by different providers.

FUNDAMENTALS OF PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY HOME FUNDAMENTALS ONLINE TEXTBOOK GLOSSARY ... ABOUT CHAPTER 8: Introduction to the Hydrosphere (q). Surface and Subsurface Ocean Currents Surface Ocean Currents An ocean current can be defined as a horizontal movement of seawater at the ocean's surface. Ocean currents are driven by the circulation of wind above surface waters. Frictional stress at the interface between the ocean and the wind causes the water to move in the direction of the wind. Large ocean currents are a response of the atmosphere and ocean to the flow of energy from the tropics to polar regions. In some cases, currents are transient features and affect only a small area. Other ocean currents are essentially permanent and extend over large horizontal distances. On a global scale, large ocean currents are constrained by the continental masses found bordering the three oceanic basins. Continental borders cause these currents to develop an almost closed circular pattern called a

AQUASTAT Agriculture 21 FAO Home FAO's Information System on Water and Agriculture AQUASTAT Home Regional Overviews General Summary Near East ... Thematic maps General summary Near East Region Geography, climate and population Because of the aridity prevailing in the region, the Near East is the poorest region in the world in terms of water resources, globally and per inhabitant, even when considering the contribution of rivers flowing from the bordering and more humid regions of tropical Africa (the Nile) or Himalayan Asia (the Indus). However, the water resources distribution within this vast area, extending over three continents, is far from being uniform: land relief, location with respect to the sea, latitude and resulting hydro-climatic conditions, diversity in hydrographic and geological structures, and matching or mismatching of the river basins with the national territories, all give rise to extremely different water situations. Many countries in the region are characterized by long coastal boundaries. The coasts are located on the North Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. In addition, several important interior seas can be found in the region: the Black Sea to the north of Turkey, the Caspian Sea to the north of Iran and to the west of Turkmenistan and the Dead Sea to the west of Jordan. The Aral Sea is not bordering the Near East region, but the northern part of Central Asia is located within the Aral Sea basin. Only three countries, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, are landlocked.

91. GEOGRAPHY AND CAREERS A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer hardware and software The zone where land and ocean meet is critical for both humans and wildlife. http://www.oneonta.edu/academics/geography/Gcareers.htm

GEOGRAPHY AND CAREERS A question students often ask themselves and their teachers is “What can I do with geography?” This question is not unexpected, because while it is easy to understand getting excited about maps, different cultures and environments, and even being better citizens through geography, it is harder to see how geographic knowledge can lead to good jobs or meaningful careers. However, in recent years people have discovered that large numbers of societal problems have geographic dimensions and that education and training in geography provide essential skills for real-world problem solving. As a result, geography has become a necessary ingredient in hundreds of different jobs. There will be stories about world hunger, environmental quality, hazardous-waste disposal, crime, urban housing, agricultural productivity, water management, transportation, and the value of land and real estate. All of these key issues have geographic aspects, and who is better equipped to give them attention than geographers, who are broadly trained in relevant subject matter and skills? For example, very little in the modern world can progress without good maps, and knowing how to use maps is one of the geographer’s specialties. THE VARIETY OF GEOGRAPHIC FIELDS When you go to college, expect to find a broad range of programs in geography. In fact, geography is now often a part of the core curriculum and can help you fulfill requirements in social science, natural science, international studies, and cultural heritage. At some colleges, geography is a required course.

Cartography and Geographic Information Systems A geographic information system (GIS) is simply a database of information about natural and man-made geographic features such as roads, buildings, mountains... These systems can be used for making maps, but also for analyzing data e.g. for facility location. There has been some communication between the geometry and GIS communities (e.g. geographer Michael Goodchild gave an invited lecture on "Computational Geography" at the 11th ACM Symp. Comp. Geom. ) but more could be done to bring them together. Geographic problems already visible in the geometry community include interpolation of surfaces from scattered data , overlaying planar subdivisions, hierarchical representations of terrain information, boundary simplification, lossy compression of elevation data (e.g. by using a piecewise linear approximation with few facets), and map labelling. Other interesting geometric issues include handling of approximate and inconsistent data, matching similar features from different databases, compression of large geographic databases, cooperation between raster and vector representations, visibility analysis, and generation of cartograms (maps with area distorted to represent other information such as population). A particularly important geometric data structure in geographic analysis is the Voronoi diagram , which has been used for to identify regions of influence of clans and other population centers, model plant and animal competition, piece together satellite photographs, estimate ore reserves, perform marketing analysis, and estimate rainfall.

Species spread across traditional borders Episode One: Invaders In Tokyo Bay, General Douglas MacArthur presided over Japan's formal surrender in World War II. US forces in Japan and China packed up to return home, making crates from local wood. The crates wound up in garbage dumps near military bases in the American South. But the discarded containers were not necessarily empty – they were likely teeming with stowaways, aliens in the form of Formosan subterranean termites. Over time, the dangerous broods built up their numbers throughout New Orleans. Meanwhile, in Uganda, an alien interloper may be jeopardizing the very health of the nation. Cases of the tropical disease, schistosomiasis, have been on the rise and scientists suspect the alien water hyacinth plant is partly to blame. In a short time, this weed has clogged 80 percent of Uganda's shoreline, providing an ideal breeding ground for snails carrying this deadly disease. Plus as the menacing snails thrive, fish life suffers under the suffocating blanket of weeds and when the weeds rot, the drinking water coming straight from the lake is fouled, further weakening the health of all the lakeside inhabitants.
