Whud Storm Center, (NOAA) – NOAA now uses improved weather and marine forecast models for the Great Lakes that will extend to 36 hours forecast 60 hours in the future to better serve the commercial and recreational mariners, the shipping industry, stakeholders of Emergency managers of water resources and the private weather industry.

The Great Lakes Operational Forecast System Service NOAA’s National Ocean, which predicts currents, water levels and water temperature, is now running on the NOAA National Weather Service powerful reliable supercomputers. Super computers running around the clock, providing a computing system to generate more reliable models forecast Great Lakes and eventually produces more timely forecasts. Initial estimates and forecasts are GLOF online http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/ofs/glofs.html.

The National Weather Service provides clients with forecasts of wind and waves, in addition to the weather forecast for the five Great Lakes. Bring forecasts from the National Ocean Service within the computer system itself provides an opportunity for customers to have access to Great Lakes predictions from a single source.

“We are increasing the capacity of environmental modeling within NOAA by leveraging existing resources and partnerships,” said Dr. Louis Uccellini, director of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction, a division of National Weather Service. “This initiative will allow clients to NOAA, more reliable information and timely.”

This initiative is a first step to link the efforts of the NOAA Environmental Modeling with the state of the art technology and paves the way for a more transparent way to provide environmental forecasts at the base of diverse customers NOAA the future. In addition, this effort will help the ability of NOAA to manage marine ecosystems of the nation and supports the Integrated Ocean Observing System – a partnership between federal, regional, and private sector working to increase understanding of oceans, coasts and Great Lakes so that policymakers can take steps to improve security, strengthen the economy and protect the environment.

“This initiative will lead to major advances in environmental modeling within NOAA, said David Kennedy, Acting Assistant Administrator of the National NOAA Ocean. “Imagine a system that may one day help us provide more accurate forecasts and timely to maritime commerce safer and more effective and also lead to improvements in ecological forecasting, such as predicting harmful algal blooms. “

Wtnh, TV fans are still smarting at the news that yet another weather WTNH, this time veteran meteorologist Geoff Fox, was sent packing. (Weekend guy Matt Scott was released a few weeks ago.)

While Fox has given a few more weeks to finish his longtime concert WTNH, he did this post about his departure on his blog today …

“So how was your day at work? Probably better than mine. After 26 years at 8 Elm Street, I am not invited back to the end of my current contract. I had the word 4:00 p.m. Wednesday. I m done at the end of February.

For the rest of the post go to http://www.geofffox.com/MT/archives/2011/01/06/but-i-work-for-the-viewers.php.

You do not know what happens at the station in New Haven, but learned the television industry, like many, sometimes does not make sense outside. Good luck Geoff. Of course, there is a silver lining somewhere in all this.

Geoff is the end of the first case, and after being a spectator WTNH since I moved here; I think I’ll start watching one of their competitors.
The decision to release Geoff Fox is the latest in a series of mismanagement by the new WTNH. As a professional of 40 years, I no longer feel a connection with this station. Channel 8 feels the news is consistantly about 20 years old women wearing inappropriate clothing, tight fitting to disseminate news and traffic at the expense of veteran news anchors and weather. I will be switching stations of my news and weather.
