Other excellent summaries describing what is known of the formation processes and geological setting of these deposits have also been assembled (30—32). Listings of nodule compositions for these and other areas have been compiled (33,34). Eor many sites these data are available as computer databases (qv) maintained by the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center in Boulder, Colorado.

The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) is the division of NOAA that conducts and directs oceanic and atmospheric research. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and fossil fuels are the leading generator of carbon dioxide, the work of the twelve Environmental Research Laboratories and eleven Joint Institutes of OAR to describe, monitor, and assess climate trends are of great interest to all parties interested in the affect of energy use on climate change.

The Advanced-Very-High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) carried on board the NOAA-7 satellite has been collecting radiance data from the earth s surface since 1978. The polar-orbiting satellite records global data on a neardaily basis. The 4-kilometer data have been remapped by NO A A into monthly composites. The data are collected in 2 bands-one visible (VIS), the other near infrared (NIR). The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, or NDVI, defined...

Due to the imbalance of sources and sinks, atmospheric N2O is increasing by 3 Tg N/yr or 0.2%/yr. Figure 12-9 shows average N2O mixing ratios from four stations in the NOAA-CMDL network, Barrow, Mauna Loa, Samoa, and the South Pole (data are from the NOAA-CMDL and can be obtained from www.cmdl.noaa.gov). The most recent IPCC estimate gives a total N2O source of 16 Tg N, 7 Tg of which are a result of human activities (IPCC, 1997). The largest contribution to the anthropogenic N2O sources is 3 Tg N from...

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.
