It shows concentrations of ozone at different altitudes in the atmosphere over North America the first week in November 2004. White areas show the highest concentrations (the most ozone). Red shows the next highest, then yellow, green, and black, which shows lowest concentrations. Notice how the red area dips down close to the ground in some locations. These are smoggy cities.
Now that you understand ozone, and how it is good or bad depending on where it is in the atmosphere, you are ready to play Ozone Trap-n-Zap!

Finding the ozone
So, it is not enough to know how much ozone is in the air. We need to know where it is. That's one reason NASA has developed the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer, or TES. TES is one of four instruments studying the atmosphere from an Earth-orbiting satellite called Aura.

From high above Earth's surface, TES looks down through the atmosphere and measures how much ozone is at different altitudes. This information is called an ozone profile—like slicing through the atmosphere and seeing it from the side. As Aura's polar orbit takes it over the North and South Poles, Earth rotates beneath. After 16 days of orbits, TES has measured ozone over the whole planet. Then it starts over.
The movie clip below shows the ozone measurements after computers have processed them into images. The reddest areas have the highest concentrations of ozone.

Sandusky, Ohio
Muddy brown water fills Sandusky Bay, just south of Lake Erie in this astronaut photograph. The small city of Sandusky occupies the southeastern shore of the bay. The most striking aspect of this image is the flow of the brown water in and out of the mouth of the bay. Slight movement of lake surface water, driven mainly by wind, causes a small ebb and flow of bay water. Sediment-charged water is derived from agricultural fields along the Sandusky River upstream. Mud plumes in Lake Erie originate from prior pulses of muddy water from the bay. When this image was taken, some clear, lake water (blue-green strip) appeared to be flowing into the bay.

The North Sea Abloom

Posted on August 13, 2015 by Tassia Owen 
	Posted in News and Events 

NASA Earth Observatory images by Jesse Allen, using data from the Level 1 and Atmospheres Active Distribution System (LAADS). Caption by Rachel Carlowicz with Mike Carlowicz. Interpretation insight provided by Mike Behrenfeld, Oregon State University, and Jochen Wollschläger, Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht.
Despite its cold waters and harsh winds, the North Sea is a fertile basin for phytoplankton blooms. The drifting, plantlike organisms tend to be most abundant in late spring and early summer due to high levels of nutrients in the water and increasing sunlight. The intense winds blowing over the relatively shallow North Sea causes a lot of vertical and horizontal mixing that brings nutrients to the surface, as does runoff from European rivers.
The first image, acquired on June 6, 2015, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite, shows a mass of phytoplankton blooming between Denmark, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The milky, light-colored surface waters are likely filled with coccolithophores, whereas the greener areas are probably rich with diatoms or perhaps dinoflagellates. (It is impossible to know for sure without water samples.) Read more

In that position a gentle side-to-side motion (or slow speed of the boat if trolling) can be used to move water into the mouth and over the gills. As the fish recovers, it will begin to kick, and slide out of your hand. When its tail passes through your hand, give the tail a quick squeeze. This seems to stimulate the fish's swimming action, causing to dive with more vigor.Report ViolationsIf you observe someone violating the Environmental Conservation Law, or see the result of a violation, report it!

Tides
The low points are where low tides occur.NASA/Vi NguyenIt might seem strange that the ocean would bulge on the side farthest from the Moon as well as the side closest to it. This happens because the Moon’s gravity affects the entire Earth, pulling at every point on our planet. The strongest pull occurs on the points closest to the Moon, and the weakest on the points farthest away, but every bit of water is affected.Now think about pouring a bucket of water out on a table. It’s easier to slide the water around on the table rather than lift it directly upwards. When the Moon’s gravity pulls at Earth, the water doesn’t float outward, it just gets pushed and squeezed around on the globe, directed by both gravitational pull and other forces, until it ultimately ends up bulging out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest away.The Moon’s gravitational pull on Earth, combined with other, tangential forces, causes Earth’s water to be redistributed, ultimately creating bulges of water on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon.NASA/Vi NguyenAs Earth rotates within this layer of water, its landmasses pass through the two bulges. These bulges are Earth’s high tides. Most shorelines experience two high and low tides per day. One high tide to high tide cycle (or low tide to low tide cycle) takes a little over 12 hours.Rising and ebbing tides happen as Earth’s landmasses rotate through the tidal bulges created by the Moon’s gravitational pull. Our observer sees the tides rise when passing through the bulges, and fall when passing through the low points. Of course, in reality the Earth isn’t a smooth ball, so tides are also affected by the presence of continents, the shape of the Earth, the depth of the ocean in different locations, and more. The timing and heights of the tide near you will be affected by those additional elements.NASA/Vi NguyenDid You Know?: Tides don’t align perfectly with the Moon.Earth’s tidal bulges don’t line up exactly with the Moon’s position.

Being A Responsible Angler - NYSDEC
Check out the various ways you can be a more responsible angler and help keep fishing great in New York State.Know the Fishing RegulationsUse Non-Toxic Tackle and Gear/Alternatives to LeadProperly Dispose of Litter and Fishing LinesStop the Spread of Aquatic InvasivesUse Baitfish ResponsiblyFollow Catch and Release Best PracticesReport ViolationsUse Best Practices for Saltwater Fishing (including use of circle hooks)Know the RegulationsFrom small headwater tributaries and ponds, to large rivers and lakes, New York offers plentiful fishing waters. To help ensure the state's fish populations remain healthy, DEC continually monitors the resource and employs a wide range of freshwater fishing regulations and saltwater fishing regulations that are frequently evaluated to ensure the best possible fish populations are maintained in the Empire State's diverse waters. You can help by knowing and understanding the regulations for the waters you will be fishing.Use Non-toxic Sinkers and JigsLost sinkers, especially split shot, may be mistaken for food by waterbirds such as ducks, geese, swans, gulls, or loons. Toxic effects of even a single lead sinker can cause birds to sicken and increases the risk of death through predation, exposure, or lead poisoning.How You Can Help: A trip to your favorite tackle shop will reveal a variety of alternatives to lead split shot, sinkers, and jig heads. By switching to non-toxic sinkers with your next purchase, you can assure that your fishing tackle choices are helping reduce the risk of lead poisoning to birds. Additionally, DEC has restricted the sale of lead fishing sinkers (including "split shot") weighing one-half ounce or less to help protect wildlife.Properly Dispose of Litter and Fishing LineUnfortunately, some popular fishing spots end up littered with bait containers, lure packaging, and discarded fishing line. Fishing lures and monofilament line degrade slowly in the environment and can seriously harm wildlife. Animals may mistakenly ingest, become entangled in, or get accidentally hooked by fishing equipment carelessly left by anglers. Furthermore, when leaving garbage behind, you not only affect wildlife, but you also leave the impression that anglers are inconsiderate and don't care about the environment.
