JAMSTEC - Marine Species, 7:35 min (January 2001) - This month's streaming video is courtesy of the Japan Marine Science & Technology Center (JAMSTEC). Using a High-Definition TV 3-chip camera mounted on one of their deep sea submersibles, they captured exquisite HDTV video of various marine creatures in the deep ocean. Of particular note are the marine species that display bio-luminescence. The 7 minute video has audio accompaniment. The VHS tape was transformed from the original HDCAM tape by Smokey Forester and his staff at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York. 

EPIC 2001 Salute to America Streaming Video (September 2001) - While America suffered on September 11 this year, an international group of scientists, technicians, and crews (both on the ocean and in the air) went about their business of better understanding the oceans and atmosphere. This climate research will benefit all of mankind. This is a special video tribute from the scientists, technicians, sailors, air crew, and managers of the EPIC 2001 Project.

Video from the International Workshop for Review of the Tropical Mooored Buoy Network, September 10-12 at NOAA PMEL. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the very innovative impacts of tropical moored buoys, including climate and ENSO prediction, how important this approach is to the global observing system and the global climate observing system, and how the moored network will be maintained. Dr. Neville Smith from the Bureau of meteorology in Australia along with other scientists are featured on the video.

Building a Sustained Ocean Observing System for Climate (August 2001) - Central to describing, understanding, and predicting the earth's climate system is observation. The mission of the observational element of NOAA’s climate services is to build and sustain the global climate observing system that is needed to satisfy the long term requirements of the operational forecast centers, international research programs, and the major scientific assessments. NOAA’s climate observation program is built on the recognition that national and international partnerships are essential to success. A global observing system by definition crosses international boundaries and the potential exists for both benefits and burdens to be shared by many nations more...

OGP's Teacher at Sea (30+ streaming videos, April 2001) - Susan Carty, teacher from West Chester, PA, sailed on the NOAA RV Ron Brown as engaged in the ACE-ASIA Field Experiment March 14th-May5th. Susan traveled from Pennsylvania to Boulder to Hawaii to Japan and to Korea, to participate and report on the experiment via the web, and experienced aspects of the airborne data collection on board the NCAR C-130 aircraft. OGP maintains a special interactive web site throughout the Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE).

ACE-Asia Teacher at Sea (38 streaming videos, March 2001) - Teacher Susan Carty from West Chester, PA, sailed on the NOAA RV Ron Brown as it engaged in the ACE-ASIA Field Experiment March 14th - May 5th. Susan traveled with the ship from Boulder to Hawaii to Japan and to Korea, participated and reported on the experiment via the web, and experienced aspects of the airborne data collection on board the NCAR C-130 aircraft. OGP maintains a special interactive web site throughout the Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE).

TOGA COARE: Unlocking the Mysteries of El Niño (January 2001) - As part of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program, the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) involved twenty nations, more than a thousand scientists and technicians, using ships, satellites and aircraft to intensely research the warm-water pool of the far western Pacific--the heat exchanger for Planet Earth. COARE took place between October 1992 and February 1993. Operational basis were established at Honiara in the Solomon Islands, and at Townsville in Australia. Data from COARE has provided the basis for much of the improvement in both ocean and atmospheric models, as well as coupled models.
