While residents continue their clean-up efforts in the coastal region of Texas in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) maintains it seaward vigil in grim anticipation of the next storm in what has become a very active hurricane season.   Visitors to NOAA's National Hurricane Center Web site, developed in part with GIS technology, can find a wealth of information about past and present storms.   In addition, they can track the progress of new storms as they build in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.       Click here for the current hurricane status charts, provided by NOAA.   NOAA makes some of its data available for free download.   For example, when combining its storm trajectory data with census density data from the Geography Network , the potential impact of an approaching storm on population centers can be easily visualized, as indicated in the following map.       ...

Ships need to slow down when traveling in the hang-out spots of critically endangered right whales, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Wednesday. Ships 65 feet or longer must slow down to 10 knots (that's 11.5 miles per hour for landlubbers) within 23 miles of major mid-Atlantic ports. Government scientists had originally suggested a 34-mile radius, but the Bush administration decided that was too extreme . Ship strikes kill one or two whales a year and are the main threat to the species, which has been endangered since 1970. Less than 400 right whales remain in the wild. The new rule will go into effect in December and expire in five years unless renewed. sources:  Associated Press , International Fund for Animal Welfare ...
