this is the first stop of noaa.r the data that has led to the information which satellite images you see daily on your televisions, your computers, and in your smartphones. each day, they produce and processes 10 terabytes of data from 17 different satellites, including the noaa polar and geostationary satellites. including the operation centers where the operators sit. as well as the defense satellite programs for the department of defense. two of our international missions. and we also process data from our european partners for environmental weather. the data rate is expected to jump from 10 to 100 terabytes per day. we process and distribute satellite data to support these operations. it is also the starting point rescue satellite aided operations. literally to my right here is the switchboard for the satellite information on search and rescue when we have alerts and warnings, we support the coast guard and local and regional rescue services on a daily basis for boaters, fishermen, pilots, and hikers who are in

at noaa we have done our preparations as well.rd from laura how our supercomputers are more powerful than ever with greater capability to take in and process the billions of earth observations that we need to make daily forecasts for you all. faster supercomputers will continue to pave the way for us to add more capabilities to our forecast models in the future. as she said, based on these unprecedented improvements, made possible through the generosity providedngress supplemental funding in the wake of hurricane sandy, i can tell you confidently that noaa's national hurricane center is poised to deliver forecasts that will be more accurate and reliable than ever before. but the forecast models in the supercomputers that power them are meaningless if they do not have quality data. we get these data by observing the planet with robust observational networks. our ability to accurately observe, measure, and monitor the oceans and nanosphere is the foundation of our ability to forecast threats of hurricanes and other weather phenomeno

here's what noaa predicted.to 11 named storms three-quarters to six of them hurricanes two major ones. here's what happened. 11 named storms, four hurricanes and two majors. the national hurricane center now giving this developing system between the bahamass and bermuda a 90% likelihood of becoming a tropical or subtropical system by tomorrow, and it is expected to bring heavy rain, in particular to georgia, as well as the carolinas, just in time for monday's memorial day. >> all right. rely on noaa more than the farmers almanac. how would they know? okay, phil -- >> how many -- home churns of the butter does it take? >> exactly. we could keep on going. thank you. >> we could. >> no matter where you live it's a crime to assault or kill police officers and firefighters, but now one state it is a hate crime, special protections for first responders coming up. you wouldn't take medicine without checking the side effects. hey honey. huh. the good news is my hypertension is gone. so why would you invest without check

noaa calls this the annual greenhouse gas index and the latest edition shows that in just the past 25 years our carbon emissions have increased are the heat-trapping capacity of our atmosphere by 50% above preindustrial levels. that is our doing. the director of noaa's global monitoring division, jim butler, commented, "we're dialing up earth's thermostat in a way that will lock more heat in the ocean and atmosphere for thousands of years." last week "the washington post" reported that both noaa and nasa found april 2016 to have been the warmest april ever recorded. what's remarkable is that april was the 12th consecutive month in a row in which that month was the warmest ever recorded for that month. that's a full year's worth of months that topped every previous such month for temperature, and it is the longest streak of that ever in noaa's 137-year temperature record. one thing we know about all this excess heat is that the oceans have absorbed more than 90% of it. you think things are weird now with the weather. imagine if the oceans had not absorbed more than 90% of that excess h
