All equipment to be used at the field site should be calibrated at or near the field laboratory or field site prior to the application of the test substance (pesticide product). Most weather equipment will have been calibrated at the manufacturer and can be checked for functionality prior to the worker exposure/re-entry test by comparing weather readings from the nearest airport or National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather reporting station with the weather readings compiled by the portable weather station. Hand-held weather instmments could also be checked with current weather reading from local airports or NOAA facilities.

U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Chemical Reactivity Worksheet, Version 1.5. As described elsewhere in this publication, the Worksheet can be used to identify chemical reactivity hazards and the general consequences of combining incompatible materials. Can be downloaded from the NOAA website at http //response.restoration.noaa.gov/chemaids/react.html. 

If chemical-specific information is not available, the consequences may be able to be predicted by methods using compatibility groups, or chemicals with similar chemical structures that are expected to have similar chemical reactivity characteristics. One computerized tool that uses this approach is the Chemical Reactivity Worksheet made available by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA 2002). This program has over 6000 chemicals, mixtures, and solutions included in its database. It also predicts chemical reaction consequences of combining two materials at a time (e.g., "Heat generation by chemical reaction, may cause pressurization"). Examples from the Chemical Reactivity Worksheet are shown in Section 4.2. It is critical that all chemicals be positively identified to have a complete evaluation of all potential incompatibilities.

The Chemical Reactivity Worksheet Database of reactivity information for more than 4,000 common chemicals includes information on special hazards of each chemical and whether a chemical reacts with air, water, or other materials predicts the reactivity between two chemicals National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)... 

An early attempt to resolve the discrepancy between the high values of Sugimura and Suzuki (1988) and more traditional analyses failed to reach a definitive conclusion (Williams, 1992). The start of the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) field program with the North Atlantic Bloom Experiment in 1989 put additional pressure on the various groups to resolve this issue quickly. The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) funded a workshop held in Seattle in July 1991 to resolve the issue.

Weather conditions have a major effect on the mechanisms and extent a release spreads. Meteorological data are readily available from the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) and from airports in the vicinity of the facility. These data include wind direction, several wind speeds, and several atmospheric stability categories. A typical 16-point wind rose is... 

Primary Federal responsibility for fisheries management and development in coastal waters rests with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the Department of Commerce. Within NOAA, Federal fisheries programs are administered by NMFS.

Under the conditions of the reduction of regional hydrographic measurements and surveys on the entire sea scale, the study of the interannual SST variability may be based only on the regular and permanently replenished information with a high spatio-temporal resolution. Such satellite information about the SST is acquired by the measurements with Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRR) onboard the satellites of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The efficiency of the use of these satellite data for the studies of the spatio-temporal variability of the Black Sea temperature regime was demonstrated in [8-13].
