NOAA News Releases
The latest news releases from NOAA - the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Dec. 26, 2009 Marks Five Years Since Sumatra Indonesia Tsunami Killed 230,000
In December 2004, lack of an effective international warning system contributed to unprecedented loss of life when a tsunami devastated countless communities around the Indian Ocean and stunned the rest of the world. Through NOAA, the United States accelerated preparation for a potential tsunami along the U.S. coastline and efforts to build partnerships for an international warning program.
NOAA Announces Proposed Northeast Groundfish Management Measures
NOAA today announced details of proposed measures developed by the New England Fishery Management Council intended to end overfishing and continue the rebuilding of Northeast groundfish.
Highway Barriers Stifle Sound, Sight, and Soot
Highway barriers erected along roadways to block the sound and sight of traffic for the adjoining neighborhoods may also be reducing the amount of pollutants, such as soot from diesel exhaust, reaching area residents.
Winter, Nighttime Tornadoes Pose Greatest Risk, National Weather Service Warns
Shrouded in darkness, nighttime tornadoes can be deadly, especially during the winter season when people are not accustomed to such severe weather. Given the dangers, forecasters with NOAA’s National Weather Service are increasing efforts to alert people of a potential threat in their area before they go to sleep.
NOAA Assesses Post-Tsunami Marine Debris in American Samoa
A NOAA team has begun a survey of marine debris generated by the devastating September 29 tsunami in American Samoa. The team is carefully measuring the amount and impact of debris such as roofing and domestic goods in coral reef habitat near villages severely affected by the tsunami.
Tom Karl, Director of NOAA's National Climatic Data Center Answers Questions About Climate Science
On Friday, Dec. 11, Tom Karl was the guest for a live webchat with Washington Post readers about the science of climate change.
Gulf of Mexico Red Snapper Recovering
A recent scientific update on Gulf of Mexico red snapper shows that fishermen may be able to catch more fish next year. This news shows that when fishermen follow management measures based on science, they lead to rebuilding of fish populations and increased opportunities to fish.
Scientists Discover and Image Explosive Deep-Ocean Volcano
Scientists funded by NOAA and the National Science Foundation recorded the deepest erupting volcano yet discovered, describing high-definition video of the undersea eruption as “spectacular.” Eruption of the West Mata volcano, discovered in May, occurred nearly 4,000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, in an area bounded by Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.
NOAA Amendment Removes Swordfishing Restrictions After Study Finds Most Sea Turtle Interactions Non-lethal
NOAA’s Fisheries Service today removed restrictions on the number of gear deployments by the Hawaii swordfish fleet after four years of study found sea turtle protections are working and most interactions between the fleet and loggerhead and leatherback sea turtles are non-lethal.
NOAA Reminds You to Give the Gift of Safety This Holiday Season
When searching for that special gift this holiday season, consider giving a potentially life-saving NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio. These radios sound an alarm when NOAA’s National Weather Service issues a warning for severe weather, such as a tornado or flash flood, and can relay civil emergency messages.
NOAA Approves Western and Central Pacific Bigeye Tuna Catch Limit
NOAA has established a catch limit for bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) in the U.S. pelagic longline fisheries in the western and central Pacific Ocean for each of the calendar years 2009, 2010, and 2011, having determined that the species’ Pacific Ocean population is subject to overfishing.
Dr. Lubchenco Responds to Questions About Stolen Climate Emails
Last week on Dec. 2 NOAA Administrator, Jane Lubchenco, testified before the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming in a hearing called "State of Climate Science." Many of the questions were related to the climate emails stolen and released from East Anglia University.
Glider Completes Historic Ocean Crossing: New Technology Advances Climate Understanding
The first-ever 7,300-mile Atlantic Ocean crossing by an unmanned underwater glider is opening up a new world of ocean technology. A ceremony on Dec. 9 in Baiona, Spain, will celebrate the partnership effort among the U.S. interagency Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) through Rutgers University, NOAA, Puertos Del Estado (Spanish Port Authority), the National Oceanographic Partnership Program, and other European partners.
North American 2008 Cooling Attributed to Natural Causes
Cooler North American temperatures in 2008 resulted from a strong natural effect, and the overall warming trend that has been observed since 1970 is likely to resume, according to university and NOAA scientists.
NOAA Announces Temporary Fishing Rule to Protect South Atlantic Red Snapper
NOAA’s Fisheries Service has announced an interim rule that will prohibit commercial and recreational fishing for red snapper in federal waters off North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and the Atlantic coast of Florida.
NOAA Encourages Use of Catch Shares to End Overfishing, Rebuild Fisheries and Fishing Communities
NOAA released today for public comment a draft national policy encouraging the use of catch shares, a fishery management tool that aims to end overfishing and rebuild and sustain fishing jobs and fishing communities. In doing so, NOAA recognized that catch shares are not a panacea or one-size-fits-all solution, but are a proven way to promote sustainable fishing when designed properly at the fishing community level.
NOAA Deactivates GOES-10 after 12 Years of Tracking Storms
NOAA officially deactivated its Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-10 today after 12 years of service. GOES-10 tracked some of the most memorable tropical cyclones in history, including Hurricane Mitch, which devastated parts of Central America in 1998; and Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged the Gulf Coast in 2005.
NOAA Proposes Critical Habitat for Cook Inlet Beluga Whales
NOAA’s Fisheries Service is seeking public comment on a proposal that identifies more than a third of Cook Inlet in Alaska as critical habitat for the remaining approximately 300 endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales.
NOAA Installs System to Improve Safety and Efficiency of Ships along the Cherry Point Reach in Washington State
Ship captains and pleasure boaters can now get free real-time information on water and weather conditions for Cherry Point, Wash., from a newly installed NOAA ocean observing system that makes piloting a ship safer and more efficient.
NOAA: 2009 Global Temperatures Well Above Average; Slightly Above-Average for U.S.
Global surface temperatures for 2009 will be well above the long-term average, while the annual temperature for the contiguous United States will likely be above the long-term average, according to a preliminary analysis by NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. The analysis is based on global records, which began in 1880 and U.S. records beginning in 1895. The NCDC analysis is part of the suite of climate services NOAA provides.
NOAA: Combined Global Surface Temperature Was Sixth Warmest for October
The combined global land and ocean surface temperature was the sixth warmest October on record, according to NOAA’s National Climatic Data Cent
