State of the Reef Report: Guam has participated in the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network's Status of Coral Reefs of the World publication as part of the larger Micronesiam/MAREPAC node. Production of a brief well-illustrated State of the Reef Report for Guam alone is considered an important step in educating the public and government leaders on the status, trends and most importantly, recommendations on how to reverse the trend of reef decline. Much of the information has been compiled. Funds will be used to prepare illustrations, format text and tables and print the report. This project provides a growing baseline of the status of Guam's reefs that can be utilized by managers to make better resource protection decisions and provides a tool for decision makers upon which to base future legislation and activities. ...

SUPER TYPHOON PAKA'S (1997) SURFACE WINDS OVER GUAM
Examples of some wind observation sites visited and documented are provided in Appendix B. Time-series of all available wind and pressure data are provided in Appendix C. The data from the various wind measurement sites were examined closely, because each location had unique characteristics and a variety of wind instruments. Some wind observations were compared with those made by official observing equipment that have known measurement standards, heights, averaging times, exposures (i.e., marine or over land) and local terrain effects. Two types of instruments, ASOS and NGTG, have provided high wind measurements in tropical cyclones at other locations in the past. For example, wind speed measurements in excess of 50 m s-1 (97 kt) were made before the power failed to the ASOS on St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands in Hurricane Marilyn of 1995 (Powell and Houston 1998, hereafter referred to as PH98). Also National Ocean Service (NOS) Next Generation Tide Gages (NGTG) measured high winds in H ... [Read More]
