The Library also serves faculty, researchers, students and staff in the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences at the University of Oklahoma, and its partners including the Oklahoma Climatological Survey, Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms, Center for Spatial Analysis and Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies. during school breaks)Ībout the library: The National Weather Center Library serves NOAA researchers and staff located in the National Weather Center, including the National Severe Storms Laboratory, Weather Forecast Office, Radar Operations Center, Storm Prediction Center and Warning Decision Training Branch. The public may use the library and make copies, but may not remove the material from the library except on interlibrary loan basis. Because it is a central library for NOAA, a multi-faceted agency, the collection is also multi-faceted and contains works on meteorology, climatology, oceanography, marine chemistry, marine biology, marine fisheries, remote sensing, and ecology. The library also provides access to digital media in both tangible (CDs, DVDs, etc.) and intangible formats (Internet accessible). 4:30 p.m., Monday - Fridayĭeirdre Clarkin, Library Director, and staffĪbout the library: The collection contains books, historical and current journals, hard-copy technical reports, reports on microfiche and microfilm, and audio cassettes.

The serial and monographic collections total over 13,500 volumes, and there are over 25,000 reprints in the reprint collection.ģ0 ext. The library maintains a collection of reprints, newsletters, technical and information bulletins, maps, photographs, newspaper clippings and a dissertation and thesis collection. Much of the library collection is made up of current subscriptions to approximately 45 scientific journals in the fields of pathobiology, fisheries, habitat, nature conservation, and ecology. The library is in a facility shared by the National Ocean Service and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. It is a highly specialized library established to assist laboratory biologists in their research on diseases of marine fish and shellfish. This secure location will provide researchers direct access to the state’s coastline, which is ideal for testing unmanned maritime systems.About the library: The Cooperative Oxford Laboratory Library is a part of the National Ocean Service's Center for Coastal Environmental Health and Biomolecular Research Charleston Laboratory. Once complete, the center will connect public and private research partners to the state’s research universities. Mississippi is a leading location for this work, which is helping to diversify the vibrant “blue economy” of the Coast to include technology development.Ī new facility being built at the Port of Gulfport by the Mississippi State Port Authority in partnership with the University of Southern Mississippi will be the site of NOAA’s unmanned maritime systems work. Navy, industry, and academia on unmanned maritime systems research and development. The program will help meet the objectives of Wicker’s Commercial Engagement Through Ocean Technology (CENOTE) Act of 2018, which requires NOAA to coordinate with the U.S. I look forward to continued cooperation between NOAA and our research institutions in the years to come.” “The new state-of-the-art facility at the Port of Gulfport will support cutting-edge unmanned maritime systems development that will improve NOAA’s data collection efforts and strengthen our state’s ties to this rapidly growing field. “This is great news for the University of Southern Mississippi and the many people who have worked to make Mississippi a hub for unmanned systems research,” Wicker said. NOAA created the program to fulfill provisions of legislation that Wicker authored to increase NOAA’s use of unmanned maritime systems technology. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., today welcomed an announcement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that it will be establishing a new Unmanned Systems Operations Program to be based at facilities in Gulfport, Miss., and Lakeland, Fla.
