NOAA PLAYS IMPORTANT ROLE IN SEARCH FOR DOWNED EGYPTAIR FLIGHT
990
 November 8, 1999 — Since the tragic
crash of EgyptAir Flight 990 on Oct. 31, NOAA
has played an important supporting role in search and recovery
operations through its mission to predict and describe the Earth's
environment. (Click images for larger view.)
As part of a joint effort—coordinated
by the National Transportation Safety Board—that includes
NOAA, the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, the NOAA hydrographic
survey ship Whiting
is using its nautical
charting expertise to search the ocean floor for aircraft
wreckage. An on-shore team is creating maps of the debris fields
found, using Whiting's side-scan
sonar data. A marine
weather forecast meteorologist is on scene to provide the
command and operational staffs and ships with customized current
and projected forecasts of wind,
waves,
and precipitation, including text
and graphics. Other services provided by NOAA include a trajectory
analysis of the probable track of any floating debris; development
of a mosaic of the ocean floor in the search area; acoustic data
current profile equipment that provides a real-time, on-site
profile of currents at every level in the water column at the
crash scene; production of graphics for use in command staff,
all hands, and media briefings; and support on fisheries issues.
"Though greatly saddened
for the victims of the crash and their families, we're glad NOAA
is able to use so many facets of its environmental expertise
to provide sea and weather forecasting support for the recovery
effort," said Cmdr. Steve Barnum, NOAA Corps, who is coordinating
NOAA's efforts at the scene. "Our goal is to help bring
this tragic event to closure."
NOAA personnel assisting in
this effort represent the NOAA
Commissioned Corps, Office
of Marine and Aviation Operations, National
Weather Service, National
Ocean Service, and National
Marine Fisheries Service.

LOCATES WRECKAGE ON OCEAN FLOOR AFTER TWA FLIGHT 800 DISASTER
NOTE: A NAUTICAL MILE = 1.15 MILES ; e.g. 13.6 knots =
13.6 x 1.15 = 15.64 miles per hour
Office of NOAA Corps
 Since
NOAA’s beginning, a large percentage of its oceanographic,
atmospheric, hydrographic, fisheries and coastal data has been
collected on NOAA
ships and aircraft. This fleet of platforms is managed and
operated by the Office of NOAA Corps Operations, an office made
up of civilians and officers of the NOAA
Commissioned Corps (a uniformed service of the United States).
In addition to research and monitoring activities critical to
NOAA’s mission, NOAA ships
and aircraft provide immediate response capabilities for unpredictable
events, such as recovery and search efforts after the TWA Flight
800 crash, damage assessment after major oil spills such as the
Exxon Valdez, Persian Gulf War and New Carissa, and several major
hurricanes during the 1998 season.
Rear Admiral Evelyn
Fields is the director of the NOAA Corps.

ocean information from a buoy near the crash site off the
coast of Nantucket Island. This information comes from NOAA's
National Data Buoy Center. Offshore waters forecasts (graphics
and text)
are also being provided in text format by NOAA's
Marine Prediction Center.
