FIGURE 3.5 Observed magnetic anomalies and fracture zones from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). The observed anomalies can be extrapolated to make synthetic anomalies that cover most of the oceans, except for parts of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The broad white strip in the South Atlantic close to the west African and eastern South American margins reflects the absence of polarity changes during the Cretaceous Normal-Polarity Superchron (Figure 3.4).

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.
