Abstract: Our Oceans are changing rapidly and experiencing increasing use for multiple activities. Thus, requiring NOAA to employ a systems approach to provide the best scientific advice for management. Yet, many of NOAA's scientific and management programs remain siloed causing bureaucratic and delivery hurdles. By increasing integration among our various programs, NOAA can achieve efficiencies and improvements in developing and communicating our science. Several programs are trying to achieve this, but they also suffer from a lack of integration. The pros and cons of undertaking this integration and a potential integrated path forward will be presented.

Keywords: Ecosystem-based Management (EBM), climate, integration

Abstract : Ozonesondes form the backbone of the global ozone observing network. They are currently launched regularly from about 60 stations worldwide, many with long-term records of up to 50 years or more. The importance of these data for assessing trends and compliance with the Montreal Protocol, as well as serving as a transfer standard and stable reference for satellite validation, cannot be overstated. However, maintaining quality across the sonde network requires regular and continuing assessment of the hardware, operational characteristics and data processing. To assess the performance of the sonde instrument and to guarantee consistency in long-term data records, an environmental simulation facility at the Forschungszentrum Jlich (FZJ) was established as the World Calibration Centre for Ozone Sondes (WCCOS) of WMO-GAW (Global Atmospheric Watch). Beginning in 1996, a series of JOSIE (Jlich Ozone Sonde Intercomparison Experiment) campaigns has been conducted at the WCCOS to evaluate different ozonesonde types.In a retrospective I will present and describe the data quality improvements achieved with a focus on a new data processing methodology to correct for the slow and fast time responses of the sonde signal. The last will also be the subject of my six month sabbatical visit to NOAA. A key target of my visit will be also to investigate the feasibility to establish at NOAA/GML a WMO/GAW-Regional Calibration Centre for Ozone Sondes (RCCOS) that would cover the American continent and the Tropics of the global ozone sonde network.

Bio(s): For more than 40 years Herman Smit worked as an atmospheric researcher (retired since 2021) at the Forschungszentrum Jlich in Germany to study atmospheric composition through long-term (in-situ) measurements to better understand the underlying chemical and dynamical processes. The focus of his work is on long term quality-assessed airborne in-situ measurements of ozone and water vapor using either balloon sondes or commercial in-service aircraft.

Abstract: Warming atmospheric temperatures have the potential to increase the moisture content, leading to enough intensified precipitation and storms to induce flash flooding. Urban areas experience the worst of these events due to a lack of infiltration that affects drainage systems. This project is an analysis of these rainfall events. The objectives were to (1) use MRMS/FLASH data to help better anticipate urban flood events through good lead time, (2) use the data to refine flash flood guidance values, and (3) develop thresholds for improved issuance of severity of flood impacts. Particular focus was on the remnants of Ida on September 1^st and 2^nd, 2021, and the September 29^th event of 2023. Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) data were matched with local storm reports (LSRs) to statistically summarize the patterns of precipitation and surface runoff estimates within New York City. Flash flood guidance (FFG) was used to interpret the results of the analysis, which concludes that, for all events, the quantitative precipitation estimate (QPE) does not exceed FFG thresholds. The surface runoff simulations illustrate the exceedance of thresholds, posing the risk of flash flooding to occur. The work also helps in serving the needs of both meteorologists and hydrologists to improve lead time and calibrate thresholds for improved issuance of severity of flood impacts. The results are from the NOAA EPP/MSI CSC NERTO graduate internship project that was conducted with NOAA mentor Dr. David Radell, Science Operations Officer at the National Weather Service at Upton, NY. The NERTO aligns with NOAA CSC CESSRST-II's goal to understand and predict changes in Earth's environment. This Urban Study of Excessive Rainfall Rates also deepened the intern's understanding of how urban landscapes (like NYC) influence flash flooding behavior and the importance of how these models help the public in making informed decisions on how to prepare for these kinds of events.

Melissa is pursuing a master's degree in Earth and Atmospheric Science at the City College of New York (CCNY/CUNY). She obtained a Bachelor's degree in both applied meteorology and geology. On occasion, she volunteers as a citizen scientist for water quality monitoring programs. Melissa's research analyzes hydrological datasets provided by the National Weather Service. Simulating precipitation and streamflow events in urbanized areas to understand the magnitude of flood impacts, particularly flash flooding, in the face of climate sensitivity. The goal of her work is also to provide a characterization of the hydrological models and to determine the response of the extremes to a changing climate.

Abstract: Extreme heat is a persistent environmental and public health issue impacting all populations. Current research has vastly explored the impacts of heat stress on urban environments and the Urban Heat Island effect. Yet, more efforts are needed to study the impacts on agricultural lands and farmworkers. The Imperial Valley, CA is no exception to this as it has a desert climate, while also being one of the largest producers of winter vegetable crops. This study is focused on utilizing remote-sensed Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from Landsat 8, in combination with weather station data, to evaluate and predict Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT). As well as, exploring the components of WBGT. Monitoring heat stress through high-resolution remote sensing can address sub-field processes that are challenging to other systems such as MODIS and regional climate models with coarser spatial resolution. Results show that WBGT can be predicted from LST with a root mean square error of 5 F and that wet-bulb temperature (NWB) is the greatest predictor for WBGT. Future work will connect LST and WBGT data with physiological stress measurements, public health records, and interview responses from farmworkers. This research supports NOAA's mission to understand and predict climate and weather changes by enhancing knowledge of climate change, weather patterns, and heat stress impacts. As well as the National Weather Service's mission to protect lives and issue appropriately timely alerts to the public and emergency community. Research Questions:

1. How has WBGT changed over the study period? Are there any variations between weather stations?
2. What is the relationship between remotely sensed Land Surface Temperature (LST) and Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT)?
3. Which variable within the WBGT equation plays the most significant role in determining WBGT?

The results are from the NOAA EPP/MSI CSC NERTO graduate internship project that was conducted with NOAA mentor, Alexander Tardy of the National Weather Service office in San Diego, CA. The NERTO aligns with NOAA CSC CESSRST-II's goal of to understand and predict changes in climate and weather. The NERTO project titled 'Spatiotemporal Variability of Heat Stress in the Imperial Valley Using Remote Sensing and Weather Station Data' deepened the intern's understanding of addressing societal problems through the integration of remote sensing technologies with multidisciplinary research in environmental systems, socioeconomic drivers, and solutions.

Abstract: In 2011, a survey was conducted to investigate Puget Sound's nearshore food web and resulted in the largest collection of ichthyoplankton in the region. Almost one thousand specimens and 71 species were collected. April and May samples had the highest abundance and richness, but ichthyoplankton were collected throughout the year. I compared spatial and temporal patterns of three species with different life history phenology: Pacific Herring, Pacific Sandlance, and Starry Flounder. Analysis revealed seasonal and distributional differences among the three species. While this study is the most expansive analysis of ichthyoplankton in the Puget Sound, it is far from adequate.

Bio(s): Alicia Godersky was born in the landlocked state of Iowa, raised near the sea in Anchorage, AK, and formally educated in the great State of Washington. She received her bachelor's degree from the University of Washington Biology Department where she landed her first unpaid internship studying the local Olympia Oyster and her first paid internship at NOAA's Northwest Fisheries Science Center studying freshwater ecology with a focus on invertebrates. She continued working as a contractor on several freshwater studies and eventually found herself in charge of plankton sampling on a 42-foot boat in Puget Sound. This work became her master's thesis and she graduated from UW School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences in 2018. She joined NOAA's RACE Division as part of EcoFOCI this May and is a member of the Ichthyoplankton Team.

Title: On the response of sea surface temperature to dust storms in the Arabian Gulf

Abstract: The Arabian Gulf, connected to the northern Indian Ocean by a narrow strait, is an inverse estuary for which surface heating and evaporation is the primary mechanism for the formation of (warm salty) bottom water. Frequent dust storms in the atmosphere over the Gulf reflect solar insolation and are known to cause significant variation of surface radiative forcing in the Gulf. Previous studies have noted that the climatological shortwave radiation should be reduced to account for the effect of dust aerosols (e.g., Johns et al., 2003; Lorenz et al. 2020). In this study, by combining satellite SST, in-situ SST collected by biologging devices attached to cormorants and a series of numerical experiments with different shortwave radiative forcings (with and without dust) from the MERRA-2 hourly reanalysis product, we investigate the shorter timescale response of sea surface temperature (SST) of the Arabian Gulf to the dust aerosol concentration over the Gulf. The model results suggest that higher dust concentration during each storm decreases the gulf-averaged daily SST by about 0.8 C maximum, by reducing shortwave radiation. The SST decreases rapidly during periods of high dust concentration and restores more slowly after storms. The correlation between dust concentration and SST anomalies is also captured in both satellite SST observation and in situ biologging SST data. The SST response to the dust-induced forcing is finally generalized and interpreted by applying a linearized forcing-response model. By fitting the numerical results to the linearized model, we found that the response time of the SST to the variation of shortwave radiation is about 13 days, whereas typical dust storm durations are 6-15 days. This study enhances our understanding of the surface ocean's response to atmospheric processes in coastal and estuarine regions by utilizing improved air-sea fluxes, and biologging and satellite observations.

Remote Access: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_B0sQvmW2S2mNEE47ZaM5hA Abstract
The Mangrove Coast Collaborative (MCC) project (2020 " 2024) began in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria (September 2017). Jobos Bay and Rookery Bay NERRs jointly recognized the need to understand and enhance the resilience of their mangrove ecosystems and the surrounding communities in southeastern Puerto Rico and southwest Florida, respectively. Through a multi-disciplinary approach spanning four research themes " time-series mapping, ecosystem assessment, ecosystem services modeling, and management options " the MCC investigated the loss and recovery of mangroves, the relationships between drivers of hurricane impact and recovery, the effects to ecosystem services, and the ways that managers have made information-based decisions. Using co-production methods, the project team developed and shared products at a recent regional Mangrove and Management Forum that brought together a newly coalescing community of mangrove scientists and managers in the southeastern US and Caribbean.In this webinar, the project team will describe how the mangrove science-to-management community developed as an integral part of the MCC and will share an overview of how the ongoing results of the MCC have responded to the needs of this growing community.

Abstract: The west side of Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska had drastic sea-level rise at the end of the Pleistocene: up to 176 m in 7000 years. This now-submerged coastline would have been the route for early peoples journeying to the Americas. We surveyed this area for submerged caves and rock shelters, performing detailed investigation with the SUNFISH AUV"a compact, portable underwater vehicle with precision positioning and maneuverability to survey complex geometries in 3D, return to targets, take sediment samples, and assist human divers in archaeological tasks. Results from sediment cores include pollen, dinoflagellate cysts, and microdebitage with radiocarbon analysis to expand our understanding of the palaeoenvironment.

Remote Access: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5302751508174273119

Abstract: This five-part webinar series features projects funded by the Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI) Division's Adaptation Sciences (AdSci) and Climate Adaptation Partnerships (CAP) programs focused on the research and application of nature-based solutions (NbS), which are actions to protect, sustainably manage, or restore natural or modified ecosystems to address societal challenges, simultaneously providing benefits for people and the environment.As climate change can impact communities differently, planning decisions to adapt should be grounded in place-based priorities. This webinar episode will feature two projects that consider different approaches to adaptation planning: cost-effective, climate and equity-informed, multi-objective analysis; and natural capital-informed. The first project, funded by AdSci, will provide an overview of how Houston quantifies the potential of an NbS in urban flood reduction and sought to build community understanding and support. This work took into consideration the potential reduction of expected climate change-induced increases in flood risk for vulnerable communities in highly urbanized coastal areas. The second presentation will be from Pacific Research on Island Solutions for Adaptation (Pacific RISA, a CAP team). The team will provide an overview of their on-going three-part project to create information needed for a natural capital approach to climate resilience, focusing primarily in Hawaii but drawing on cases in other Pacific Islands.Presentations:

• (AdSci) Identification of cost-effective, climate-informed green infrastructure adaptations to reduce flood risk in Houston's vulnerable communities
• (CAP / Pacific RISA) Natural capital-informed decision making on Kauai

Abstract: On April 15, the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the International Coral Reef Initiative announced that the world was experiencing it's 4th Global Bleaching Event (GBE4). Since February 2023, mass coral bleaching has been documented across at least 70 different countries/territories spanning the northern and southern hemispheres of all ocean basins (as of 9 August 2024). GBE4 has been record-setting, as >74% of the world's reef area has experienced bleaching-level heat stress since January 2023, exceeding the previous record set during the 3rd Global Bleaching Event that spanned 2014-2017 (GBE3, 65.7%).

In an effort to minimize concomitant impacts on heat-stressed corals, popular tourist areas have been closed at Pling Island in Phuket, Thailand, and the Maldives temporarily halted all coastal development projects. Coral reef areas in both the northern and southern Atlantic Ocean have experienced the most extreme levels of heat stress during this event, with Degree Heating Week (DHW, C-weeks) values 2-3 times greater than has ever occurred before in the satellite record.

The majority of reef areas in the wider Caribbean and south Atlantic exceeded 16 C-weeks, with some regions surpassing 20 C-weeks; these extreme levels of heat stress have driven coral mortality ranging from 60-99% of all corals during past events. Over the past 365 days, 99.9% of all reef area in the Atlantic Ocean have experienced bleaching level-heat stress. Record-setting heat stress has also occurred in the eastern tropical Pacific, southcentral Pacific (e.g., Western and American Samoa), southern Great Barrier Reef, and the Seychelles. The full ecological impacts of this event will not be fully realized for months-to-years, but preliminary reports have been alarming. The acroporid corals, which were the dominant, shallow-water, reef-building corals throughout the Caribbean for at least the past 250,000-500,000 years, were severely impacted, with reports of 90-100% mortality in Florida, Mexico, and Puerto Rico following the 2023 phase of this event. This presentation will provide updates on the latest trends and patterns of this ongoing, record-setting marine heatwave.

Abstract: In order to fully explore our oceanand effectively steward the life that lives there, we need to scale up ourobservational capabilities both in time and space. Marinebiological observations and surveys of the future call for building distributednetworks of underwater sensors, vehicles, and data analysis pipelines, whichrequires significant advances in automation. Imaging, a major sensing modalityfor marine biology, is being deployed on a diverse array of platforms, howeverthe community faces a data analysis backlog that artificial intelligence andmachine learning may be able to address. How can we leverage novel computer anddata science tools to automate image and video analysis in the ocean? How canwe create workflows, data pipelines, and hardware/software tools that willenable novel research themes to expand our understanding of the ocean and itsinhabitants in a time of great change? FathomNet seeks to address thesecommunity needs through creating a collaborative R&D program that linksartificial intelligence with broad community engagement. FathomNet provides a central hub for researchersusing imaging, AI, open data, and hardware/software; provide data pipelinesfrom existing image and video data repositories; share project tools forcoordination; leverage public participation and engagement via gamification;and create data products that are widely shared. Together, FathomNet willbe used to directly accelerate the automated analysis of visual data to enablescientists, explorers, policymakers, storytellers, and the public, to learn,understand, and care more about the life that inhabits our ocean.

Abstract: Many members of the public are aware of and concerned by shark conservation challenges, but there is widespread misunderstanding of the threats to sharks and the available policy solutions to address those threats. Many are heavily influenced by information from uninformed extremists rather than from experts. These misunderstandings result in suboptimal policy outcomes, and even conflict between stakeholder groups. This seminar summarizes a decade of work attempting to understand the causes and consequences of widespread misunderstanding about shark conservation threats and solutions. It also proposes solutions focusing on sharing our hard-earned expertise with the interested public in an accessible format.

Title: Understanding the genetic basis of run timing diversity in four species of Pacific salmon

Part of the NOAA Omics Seminar Series

Presenter(s): Wes Larson, Genetics Program Manager, NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center

Sponsor(s): NOAA Omics

Seminar Contact(s): Nicole Miller, NOAA 'Omics Portfolio Specialist, noaa.omics@noaa.gov

Abstract: Migration is an important component of the life cycles of many organisms and differences in migration timing can greatly influence fitness. Variation in migration timing (hereafter referred to as run timing) is found in many salmon species and contributes to the portfolio of life history diversity that is vital for maintaining healthy populations. Large effect loci that strongly influence run timing have been discovered in Chinook salmon and steelhead and these loci have been a major focus of research and conservation efforts over the last decade. However, the genetic basis of run timing variation has not been investigated in other Pacific salmon. Here, we use a combination of whole genome sequencing and targeted amplicon sequencing to identify loci associated with run timing variation in sockeye, pink, chum, and coho salmon. We find that two small genomic regions on homeologous chromosomes that arose after an ancient whole genome duplication are strongly associated with run timing across the four species. The genes most closely associated with these regions are the Leucine Rich Repeat Containing 9 (LRRC9) gene and the Estrogen Receptor Beta (ESRB) gene. The LRRC9 region is associated with run timing in sockeye, chum, and pink salmon, and the ESRB region is associated with run timing in chum and coho salmon. Notably, the Six6 gene, which is associated with age-at-maturity in steelhead and Atlantic salmon, is also found near the regions we identified. Our results suggest that the two duplicated versions of this region are highly associated with variation at multiple phenotypes in salmon. We hypothesize that this may be a master regulatory region that influences gene expression at many genes involved in multiple physiological pathways. Knowledge of patterns of variation at this major affect locus can be leveraged to help maintain the evolutionary potential of salmon populations and understand how they may respond to future stressors.

Bio(s): Wes received his BS from the University of California-Santa Cruz and his PhD from the University of Washington. His PhD focused on applying genomic tools to study local adaptations and inform management of Pacific salmon in Alaska. Wes is currently the program manager of the genetics group at the NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center. Wes' research interests include all things omics with a focus on population genomics, genetic stock identification, and developing metabarcoding tools for eDNA and mixed-DNA sample applications.

Title: From Gear to Ghost: Reeling in the Problem

Presenter(s): Raimundo Espinoza (Executive Director of Conservacin ConCiencia); Neill Holland (President of Ocean Aid 360); James Morioka (Executive Director of Papahnaumokukea Marine Debris Project)

Sponsor(s): NOAA Marine Debris ProgramSeminar Contacts: Ashley Hill (ashley.hill@noaa.gov), Mark Manuel (mark.manuel@noaa.gov), Yaritza Rivera (yaritza.rivera@noaa.gov)

Remote Access: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6450751598513933397

Abstract:
Marine Debris is a problem around the world, and tropical islands are no exception. These island communities often face different challenges, such as limited disposal options, and increased storm activity. Tropical Islands Partnering on Solutions for Marine Debris (TIPS) is a bimonthly online webinar series hosted by the NOAA Marine Debris Program. The goal of the TIPS series is to help tropical island communities connect and share perspectives from across the tropics on common marine debris issues and proposed solutions. Each webinar features stakeholders from federal, state, and local government, nongovernmental organizations, academia, and industry to discuss topics about outreach and education, policy, debris management, and successes, as well as overcoming challenges under normal and storm conditions.Help us reel in the problem and tackle abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) at our next webinar.This TIPS webinar will feature presentations from various organizations that engage in ALDFG mitigation efforts. Presenters will speak to prevention, removal and research initiatives aimed to "reel in the problem" of ALDFG. Hope to catch you later.

Bio(s): Raimundo Espinoza, Executive Director of Conservacin ConCienciaThis presentation will address how working in partnership with local commercial fishers in derelict fishing gear removal efforts has been a catalyst for Conservation actions as well as an effective and efficient way to conduct large scale marine debris removal actions while investing in local frontline communities.Neill Holland, President of Ocean Aid 360Ocean Aid 360 has hauled in over 400,000 pounds of high priority derelict traps and other forms of marine debris from Florida and the Bahamas. In this short presentation, Capt. Neill Holland will discuss community volunteer mobilization around ALDFG and proven ways to reduce conflict between resource user groups.James Morioka, Executive Director of Papahnaumokukea Marine Debris ProjectSince 2020, PMDP has removed 870,000 pounds of marine debris from the remote reefs and islands within the Papahnaumokukea Marine National Monument. In September and October 2024, PMDP aims to remove 130,000 more pounds on their mission to a million pounds removed over the last 5 years.

Recordings: Webinar recordings will be available on the Tropical Islands Partnering on Solutions for Marine Debris Webinar Series.

Title: The Great Lakes Atlas of Multi-Omics Research (GLAMR)Part of the NOAA Omics Seminar Series

Presenter(s): Anders Kiledal Assistant Research Scientist, University of Michigan Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Sponsor(s): NOAA Omics

Seminar Contact(s): Nicole Miller, NOAA 'Omics Portfolio Specialist, noaa.omics@noaa.gov

Remote Access: Register Here

Abstract: To collect and standardize the ever-growing volume of omics data (DNA or RNA sequences, metabolomics, etc.) produced by Great Lakes researchers, we built the Great Lakes Atlas of Multi-omics Research (GLAMR), a publicly-accessible website and database supported via the NOAA 'Omics program. To populate GLAMR, we collected Great Lakes metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and amplicon sequencing datasets"including many of our own"from public repositories while simultaneously collecting and standardizing all available sample metadata, including associated environmental measurements. The GLAMR website, greatlakesomics.org, allows users to explore, query, and download datasets processed through standardized bioinformatics pipelines, and provides links to the originating repositories. GLAMR currently houses nearly 2,500 samples and we expect this number to grow rapidly as researchers increasingly rely on omics methods. By bringing together diverse datasets spanning 15 years from across the Great Lakes, GLAMR provides researchers and other Great Lakes stakeholders a powerful but accessible tool for understanding this critical freshwater ecosystem.

Bio(s): Anders is an Assistant Research Scientist at the University of Michigan where he leads development of the Great Lakes Atlas of Multi-omics Research (GLAMR) and uses 'omics techniques to study harmful algal blooms, particularly the large annual blooms that plague Lake Erie's western basin. He received his PhD from the University of Delaware where he used omics techniques to study bacteria living in and on concrete.

Slides, Recordings, Other Materials: A recording of this presentation will be made available on the NOAA Omics website. View past omics seminar recordings here: https://sciencecouncil.noaa.gov/NOAA-Science-Technology-Focus-Areas/NOAA-Omics

Abstract: This five-part webinar series features projects funded by the Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI) Division's Adaptation Sciences (AdSci) and Climate Adaptation Partnerships (CAP) programs focused on the research and application of nature-based solutions (NbS), which are actions to protect, sustainably manage, or restore natural or modified ecosystems to address societal challenges, simultaneously providing benefits for people and the environment.Adapting to climate change requires cities to leverage their efforts to meet multiple objectives and do so through an equity lens that counteracts existing patterns of vulnerability. This webinar episode will feature three projects that consider co-benefits of NbS. The first project, led by CAP's Mid Atlantic team, addresses questions related to equitable multi-objective adaptation planning across scales. During the webinar you'll learn about MARISA's equity-oriented, multi-objective planning tool to support participatory adaptation scenario analysis through their case study in Baltimore. The second project, led by CAP's Southwest team, Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS), seeks to identify places to integrate health across the spectrum of climate resilience approaches. Their presentation will provide an overview of their plan to conduct a systematic review of interventions to support city planners, fire responders, and emergency managers, as well as the role NbS has in protecting human and animal health.The final presentation will be a small grant-funded project by CAP's Great Lakes team, Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments (GLISA). Chicago's Southeast Side faces some of the City's worst economic and health conditions. Massive storms have caused extreme flooding in the Southeast Side and combined sewer overflows in the nearby Calumet River. GLISA and the Alliance for the Great Lakes teamed up to support the work of the Calumet Connect partners on the Southeast Side of Chicago. Calumet Connect partners are working with the Chicago Department of Planning and Development (CDPD) and the Chicago Public Health Department (CPHD) on two policy initiatives: the Calumet River industrial corridor modernization plan and a city-wide stormwater management strategy and maintenance program.Presentations
