Some of the significant S T R A T E G I C G O A L 3 accomplishments and impacts that the Department had on the Number of Targets U.S. public include the following: Blue 4 exceeded performance target Through NOAA, the Department impacts all Americans. From 1 Green the development and protection of fisheries to the prediction met performance target of severe storms such as hurricanes and tornadoes, all of the 25 Yellow almost met performance target United States depends on NOAA programs. Red did not meet performance target MetOp-A was launched from the Baikonur Space Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on October 19. The European polar-orbiting satellite, MetOp-A, is being heralded as a major milestone in the U.S.-European Initial Joint Polar System (IJPS). The agreement between NOAA and the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) coordinates respective polar satellite launches to improve coverage of weather and climate conditions. On October 25, 2006, the NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRRR) was successfully switched on and the first images sent to Earth. The global data collected are used extensively in NOAA’s weather and climate prediction numerical models. The primary purpose of AVHRR is to provide global cloud imagery for meteorological purposes, although many other applications have developed around the use of this versatile instrument previously flown on NOAA satellites, such as mapping of sea ice and sea surface temperatures, vegetation mapping, and land surface analysis. The AVHRR instrument is provided to EUMETSAT by NOAA. “The NOAA-EUMETSAT partnership is absolutely crucial to the continuous flow of environmental data captured from space,” said Greg Withee, assistant administrator for the NOAA Satellite and Information Service. “Launching MetOp-A is a milestone for NOAA and the United States because of the value and applications of data it will provide for monitoring sea-surface temperatures, drought, and other climate conditions.” Lars Prahm, director-general of EUMETSAT, said, “The agreed partnership between the United States and Europe will jointly ensure a continuous flow of vital data from polar orbit.” On May 15, MetOp-A was formally declared operational, enabling users in Europe and beyond to benefit from the satellite’s unique capabilities. MetOp-A instruments provided by NOAA include the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-A1 & A2); High Resolution Infrared Sounder (HIRS/4); AVHRRR/3; and Space Environment Monitor (SEM-2). The MetOp satellite series consists of three spacecraft, including MetOp-A, which are designed to provide operational data until 2020. One of NOAA’s central missions is to promote public safety and preparedness. Since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, NOAA has responded to requests from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Coast Guard and has surveyed 677.92 square nautical miles and utilized contractors to locate potential dangers to marine navigation along the Gulf Coast. New elevations were published for more than 340 benchmarks and the values will provide official elevations in 27 parishes across the southern part of Louisiana that experienced damage from the storms. To improve communication, NOAA has developed a Web site (http://gulfofmexico. marinedebris.noaa.gov/) that will allow stakeholders to stay abreast of meetings, projects, and outreach events. Plans are currently underway to establish a Gulf of Mexico Disaster Response Center in Mobile, AL. 22 F Y 2 0 0 7 P E R F O R M A N C E A N D A C C O U N T A B I L I T Y R E P O R T
