From watching flashes and waiting for thunder, to early electromagnetic detectors, ground-based networks and instruments in space—the tools we use to detect lightning have come a long way. ⚡🛰️

Tornado forecasting had to start somewhere.
In the 1880s, US Army Signal Corps meteorologist John Park Finley studied tornado patterns, built a network of observers and pioneered experimental tornado forecasts.

Before group chats and video calls, hurricane forecasters had the Hurricane Hotline. 📞
These dedicated phones helped NWS experts quickly coordinate watches, warnings and storm information when tropical cyclones threatened.

There is an observation area and some equipment at the edge of the pond and someone has written on the photo “Carson Natl Fish Hatchery”. Text below the photo reads “Carson, Washington ~1950. Carson National Fish Hatchery, constructed in 1928, is managed and operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with annual support from NOAA Fisheries”A rectangular graphic with a grey textured background and a NOAA Fisheries logo in the bottom left corner. 2/3rds of the graphic is taken up by a black and white photo of two men kneeling behind a row of mesh bags. They are holding lines attached to the backs and below the photo text reads “Milford, Connecticut 1968; Federal scientists laying out clutch bags used to evaluate setting of oysters on treated and untreated materials”

It’s both #AquacultureWeek and #NOAAHeritageWeek—so let’s take a look back at some of the history behind our aquaculture work! These blast-from-the-past snapshots offer a glimpse at some of the science and people that helped shape our aquaculture efforts over the years. https://bit.ly/4eeSlYx

A rectangular graphic with grey textured background and a NOAA Fisheries swoosh and logo in the left corner. There is a two-line arching banner at the top titled “Aquaculture Week; Heritage Week”. Below the banner is a sketch-style image of a man in 1960s attire with a cap holding up two kinds of oyster farming equipment. In his left hand is a suspended net and in his right is a line with oysters secured to it. There is a speech bubble coming from the man that says “Two things to celebrate at once?! I’ve already got my hands full!” A rectangular graphic with a grey textured background and a NOAA Fisheries logo in the bottom left corner. 2/3rds of the graphic is taken up by a black and white photo of a man in 1960s attire holding up a string of oysters in his right hand and an oyster net in his lift hand. He is standing on a plank on a dock and behind him are calm seas and moored boats. Below the photo text reads “Milford, Connecticut 1962; Dr. Victor Loosenuff holding two experimental oyster collectors”A rectangular graphic with a grey textured background and a NOAA Fisheries logo in the bottom left corner. 2/3rds of the graphic is taken up by a black and white photo of a man crouching next to organized tubes and glass jugs filled with liquid. The photo is labeled at the bottom “Labs- Milford, Conn. - Carboys used as growth chambers”. Below the photo text reads “Milford, Connecticut 1962; Carboys used as growth chambers for shellfish”A rectangular graphic with a grey textured background and a NOAA Fisheries logo in the bottom left corner. 2/3rds of the graphic is taken up by a black and white photo of a raft in the ocean in calm seas with wooded land in the background. The photo is a scan with a label sticker that reads “Experimental oyster rafts photo by Bob Williams Date: Aug 1968 Locality: Oxford, MD. BCF 510-6A”. Below the photo text reads “Oxford, Maryland 1968; Experimental oyster rafts”

Weather forecasting has changed a lot since 1870—but the mission has always centered on serving the public. That year, Congress created a national weather service to observe the atmosphere and warn of approaching storms.
