Replacement Weather Satellite for GOES East

This is bad news for the Caribbean Region.  And this is very bad news for those of you that regularly download solar radiation data from pragwater.com or rely on results from GOES-PRWEB.  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) confirmed Monday that GOES-13 has been placed in stand-by mode, following increased vibrations, or “noise,” observed in imagery over the past couple of days.  For more information visit http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/key-us-weather-satellite-goes/78844

This post has implications on data from the following pragwater web pages:

This composite satellite image from Sunday shows a lack of data from GOES-13 over the east coast of the U.S. (CIMSS Satellite Blog)

I gave this homework assignment to my Agroclimatology class today.  Perhaps you would like to try it?

Homework Problem:  Do you believe that global warming is real?

Groundwater over-exploited in agricultural regions, study finds


Groundwater footprints of aquifers that are important to agriculture are significantly larger than their geographic areas. Higher footprint values indicate widespread stress. (Nature Publishing Group)
