Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML)

Scientists at AOML have successfully completed the sixth and final enhanced South Florida Ecosystem Restoration (SFER) Cruise of the year onboard the R/V Walton Smith. Leaving from Miami, these cruises venture south to the Florida Keys and collect crucial biogeochemical and hydrographic observations at designated stations along the West Florida Shelf - reaching as far north as Tampa Bay. With each station marked by a series of coordinates, they collect seawater samples to analyze the carbonate system, trace metals, eDNA, and harmful algal blooms (HABs) and perform plankton tows and imaging. These cruises have also added additional stations north of Tampa Bay to investigate the current HABs bloom on the West Florida shelf.

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.
