- Behind the Scenes: Port Meteorological Officer (PMO)

- Description
- Did you know that NWS Miami has a Port Meteorological Officer? Port Meteorological Officers (PMOs) support observing programs aboard Voluntary Observing Ships. They are responsible for recruitment of new vessels as observers, and also for ensuring the quality of observations from vessels actively participating in the program. PMOs spend a major part of their time visiting ships, primarily assisting deck officers with marine weather observation practices, weather codes, and report transmission procedures. They distribute observing forms, handbooks, and operating instructions, in addition they also calibrate some of the weather instrumentation. The PMO will review completed observation forms on board, point out omissions or errors, and suggest methods for improvement. They maintain contact with ship owners and agents, port operators, shore radio stations, and maritime academies to secure the cooperation of the maritime community.

- Oceans Today: Rip Current Science
- Runtime

- Description
- Transcript:
You might have heard them referred to as “undertow” or “rip tides,” but these ocean phenomena are actually rip currents.
Rip currents are narrow currents in the surf zone that move quickly away from shore.
A typical rip current ranges from 50-100 feet wide, and can extend 100 yards or more offshore. It can reach speeds of over 5 miles per hour - that’s faster than an Olympic swimmer!
That makes them dangerous and potentially deadly, and scientists want to learn more about them so we can better forecast when and where they will form - and keep beachgoers safe.
Here’s what we know:
Waves don’t have to be huge for a rip current to form - two or three feet are all it takes.
And the weather doesn’t have to be bad for a rip current to emerge. They often occur in the nice days after a storm.
They’re usually strongest near low tide, but can form at any time.

- Description
- Many people are familiar with the National Hurricane Center's forecast cone, or cone of uncertainty graphic. While that graphic provides general information about a storm's forecast track and intensity, it does not provide specific, local information on the storm's hazards such as wind, storm surge, rainfall flooding, and tornadoes.
So where can you find more specific storm information for your community? NWS local forecast offices such as ours in Miami produce "Hurricane Threats and Impacts" graphics that give a greater picture of potential storm impacts. This video describes these graphics in more detail, as well as where to find these when storms threaten your area.
