Drifters, buoys, Argo floats and more help scientists monitor the global ocean, including areas that are difficult to travel to via research ship. 200 feet...100 feet...and success! A robotic …
This summer, NOAA and citizen scientists will map the hottest parts of 18 communities in 14 states across the country and in one international city. Identifying these urban heat islands helps local decision-makers take actions to reduce the health impacts of extreme heat, which often target the most vulnerable.
