Question: Does NOAA conduct fire weather forecasting?
Answer: Wildfire outbreaks require the alignment of several factors, including temperature, humidity, winds and the lack of moisture in fuels such as trees, shrubs and grasses. These factors have strong direct or indirect ties to current weather, climate variability and climate change. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration supports weather forecasting throughout a wildfire’s lifecycle: before, during and after the wildfire.

The Energy Department has underestimated the potential deadly consequences should plutonium escape the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, which produces bomb cores for America’s nuclear weapons, a study published today by independent scientists found.

UW Madison’s Trout Lake Station is a lake ecology research station on the South side of Trout Lake in Vilas county. Every summer they open their doors to the public and invite them to explore the science happening right in their own backyard.
