DeHavilland Twin Otter (DHC-6) Front View Left Side View Twin Otter Mission Profile Information Note: According to FAA and NOAA AOC regulations, the aircraft must land with 30 minutes fuel reserve in VFR/day conditions, 45 minutes in VFR/night conditions, and 1 hour in IFR conditions.
Additionally, endurance is relative to desired airspeed and will be reduced if flight plans include profiles (climbs/descents). Other factors influencing endurance and range include but are not limited to weather, winds aloft, and altitude. Auxiliary fuel tank is removable. NOAA Air Resources Laboratory "Mobile Flux Platform" The NOAA Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) developed modifications to the Twin Otter in order to measure eddy fluxes and concentration gradients through the atmospheric mixed layer.
The Twin Otter provides a stable platform for low level research flights. Further "Mobile Flux Platform" information can be found by visiting the NOAA ARL website at Overview Cabin Views Fisheries Survey Platform. MH-60J/T : Platforms : CG-711. MH-65: Dolphin Overview: The H-65 helicopter — the Coast Guard’s most ubiquitous aircraft — is certified for operation in all-weather and night-time operations, with the exception of icing conditions.
There are 100 H-65s in the inventory. The H-65 is the primary Coast Guard aircraft used aboard certified cutters during deployments. FLIR, a heads-up display (HUD) and other avionics upgrades are being installed aboard the H-65 as part of the ongoing conversion-sustainment initiative to sustain the airframe for the foreseeable future.

Ship GORDON GUNTER. Ship OREGON II. Diving Program. General Information The NOAA Diving Program, or NDP, is administered by the U.S.
Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and is headquartered at the NOAA Diving Center in Seattle, Washington. The NOAA Diving Program trains and certifies scientists, engineers and technicians to perform the variety of tasks carried out underwater to support NOAA's mission. With more than 400 divers, NOAA has the largest complement of divers of any civilian federal agency. In addition, NOAA's reputation as a leader in diving and safety training has led to frequent requests from other governmental agencies to participate in NOAA diver training courses. Averaging more than 15,000 dives per year, the NDP has consistently maintained an excellent diving safety record (99.97% safe dive statistic).

Marine Mammals - Office of Protected Resources - NOAA Fisheries. Species | Status | Conservation | More Info | Reports & Publications Overview Marine mammals are mammals that are well adapted for life in the marine environment.
Two major groups of marine mammals are: There are approximately 125 marine mammal species worldwide managed under the MMPA. Of those 125, 8 species are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (walrus, polar bear, sea otter, marine otter, West African manatee, Amazonian manatee, West Indian manatee, and dugong). Status of Marine Mammals All marine mammals are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA); some marine mammals may be designated as "depleted" under the MMPA. The table below includes marine mammals found in U.S. waters and endangered/threatened foreign species. (E = "endangered"; T = "threatened"; P = "proposed"; C = "candidate"; S = "species of concern"; D = "depleted"; DL = "delisted"; F = "foreign") More Info Note: The U.S.
