so that's the role noaa plays. we do not have the engineering depth nasa does, we rely on that depth. we're there with the requirements, with the user community interphrases, so that we know what the end use is of every one of these observations which allows us then to work hand in glove with nasa and with the major contractors to make sure that end use is remembered -- is kept in mind at you go through the whole development process. >> mr. pouner? >> yeah, i would just add that the contracting situation with the spacecraft, each sensor in the ground component, they all have prime contractors with subs. so you have many contractors and subcontractors involved with each of those many components. >> well, the reason i'm asking that question is because, when it was npos or now g.o.e.s. and jpss, there is a little separation between noaa as the owner-archite owner-architect, if you will, and the general contractor, nasa. before it was noaa and the air force. and we've had -- i mean, obviously we wouldn't be here if we

todd jacobs is the head of noaa's unmanned aircraft program. >> out here what it does is it provides us the ability to provide a persistent camera source so we can have very high, stable resolution camera looking at oil in the water if we were dealing with an oil spill it could help also vector small boats and personnel around. >> in a 2014 mission aboard the healy, fluorescein dye was used to simulate oil so researchers could study how it moves in ice. these images were taken by a camera mounted on an aerostat during that mission. the idea is images could be relayed to an incident command thousands of miles away on land. >> the holy grail is to be able to actually send photographs and full motion video with their associated telemetry so both the latitude and longitude feeding incident command centers. >> what about an oil spill in the arctic? >> i do believe if and when that event occurs, it's going to be a difficult event to deal with. the concern is it's a fairly short operation window... if something long playing out like say deepwater horizon occurred up here, it would be a cata

united states, indonesia, all the places you mentioned that can prepare for the seasonal changes that noaag with satellite information. the buo y sensors, it's phenomenal. what we're not prepared for is the added warm that climate change has added on. so these droughts are hotter than before. that means our reservoirs in the western united states are evaporating much faster. that means we need to deal with different reservoir planning, we also have to deal with these wildfires that are cooking the soil not only laying them bare but making them hydrophobic. i have students work on this, and in fact, it accelerates the run off and it will not percolate once there is a highly cooked soil. we need longer, stronger fire season in the west creating more extreme conditions than our infrastructure built in the last century can really with stand. we have to prepare for this, and i agree with the speakers on that front. >> we're talking about this year's el niÑo, one bad little boy. stay with us. this is inside story. >> some of the saddest stories i've ever done as a reporter involved floods. accom

when you see this guy, at least in the report, moynihan was believing in the neville of it -- the noaa- and later, you see someone who is supposed to be on your side, there is a deep narrative already there. james: one of the really striking things, demonstrated how incarceration has been a system of social control, it is always the rates, in the north versus the south. ta-nehisi: again, this is like, if we could set the 1970's as a baseline and look at the incarceration rates in america, 170,000 then, but by our team -- by our time, it is in the 700,000. then you look at long-term across the 20th century, you find in northern cities, the incarceration rates of african americans has been high, they didn't need to be high in southern cities, because back then, it was essentially a police state and segregation was control in the south. so in detroit, new york, chicago, there was a 7-1 ratio, black to white. that ratio is about the same today. even if we added more people into the system, the basic mechanism has not changed. and that is a profound challenge for all of us interested in dhi

and so the meteorologists at noaa and the national weather service are saying based on their models,t looks like january, february, and march are going to be the real wet months. >> we often hear forecasters talk about the storm door is each. what does that mean exactly? >> what is means is the jet stream over the pacific ocean lines up in the right way so that we get a nice conveyor belt of storms moving one after another into california. what's happened as some astute weather watchers may remember, over the last four years of our terrible drought, is that storms have been blocked from coming to california. they generate on the pacific ocean, and we've had this giant mass of high pressure air off the west coast. think of it as like a big mountain of dense air. four or five miles high. it's been there so long, it's been called the ridiculously resilient ridge. so storms hit that ridge, and like a wall, they don't come ashore. they go up into canada, they get cold air. and then they come back, and they've given places like chicago and new york, boston, tons of snow the last few years.

so if you have a noaa weather radio, make sure it's on. texas, louisiana, mississippi, and arkansas. all right. we will see the potential for flooding. in some cases a foot of rainfall monday and tuesday. we have flood warnings in effect already ahead of the storm system. a dozen states under flash flood watches or warnings. and then the snow, blizzard conditions across texas, new mexico, oklahoma and kansas. this could be an historic storm in terms of the blizzard conditions and how much snow they are going to see. you do not want to be on the roadways. this is a dangerous storm sunday through monday. between that, we will see the mix of freezing rain or ice. we haven't even talked about the icing component. dangerous monday into tuesday across the great lakes and the northeast on tuesday. a long lasting storm that will affect millions of people. texas, oklahoma, kansas, watches here too. we will see a period of time of over 30 to 40-mile-per-hour winds blowing the snow around. people are urged to stay inside. you look at the temperatures

people are advised to keep your noaa weather radios on tonight and listen to your local weather forecast. and then tomorrow, the threat shifts a little more eastward towards alabama and the florida panhandle up towards tennessee. so watching that threat for the next 24 hours. the flood advisory, that's going to be a big concern. 2 to 4 inches in some areas. isolated amounts of 6 to 8. and you can see the flash flooding that is already occurring here. so over a dozen states under flash flood watches or warnings. and again, over saturated ground, this is a big concern as we head into the new workweek. the winter storm advisories continue. blizzard warnings still in place for new mexico, texas, up towards oklahoma. and we still have an ice storm warning for parts of oklahoma. winter weather advisories stretching all the way to the great lakes where we could see anywhere from 6 inches, 8 inches, even 12 inches. you'll be happy to know, julia, i know you are a skier, we are finally getting powder across new that in mind. and ice accumulation, here's my concern heading into monday. we could se
