I want to give a shout out to the creativity of this NOAA officer probably only noticed by us military guys. I noticed in the clips from your balloon launch video he was an LTJG (O-2), however in this interview he has been promoted to LT (O-3) while he was at the station. Since he cant get uniform rank devices easily while down in the south pole i saw the clever trick he did. He used two LTJG Bars and i noticed drew on with a white ink the ladder connector to make the railroad track style LT bars (or captain bars for the army, marines,air force, space force). Nice improvising!

I'm surprised he didn't get the machinist to make some, maybe he preferred having something that was official even if not for his new rank.

Dude, that was sharp catching that. I always, well most of the time, would win a beer if someone could name the seven commissioned services in the State. Maybe eight now with Space force.

I was lucky enough to sit next to a NOAA Corps officer on a flight to Seattle once. NOAA have a large campus at Sand Point, near the University of Washington, and much of their ocean fleet is based there. He was shocked I even knew what NOAA Corps was, given how small it is. I had for a time planned to go into epidemiology and join the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, which is the other non-armed Uniformed Service in the US: the other 6 are the much better known Armed Services. Technically, both services can be militarized into the DoD during a war. NOAA Corps would help with things like mapping or oceanography, while PHSCC would augment medical personnel. The history and purpose of both services is fascinating, and they do a lot of important work!

Amazing thank you ❤

@Gunbudder 6 месяцев назад

Isn't it supposed to be Public Health Service Commissioned Corps officers that would be in charge of detaining uncooperative infected people to prevent an epidemic? I remember reading about the legality of arresting someone to stop them from spreading a disease during the ebola outbreak. After reading about the real Typhoid Mary, it seems like the US courts were careful to not say anything about how legal it was to effectively imprison Mary like they did. Its kind of freaky when you think about someone running around a place like New York, coughing up a highly contagious and deadly theoretical disease

Get the impression this NOAA officer is a really lovely guy: extremely knowledgeable, highly skilled & with broad, deep experience. And no display of ego, just quiet confident humility.

I'm glad to hear you address the balloon littering, it definitely seems like a small price to pay for incredible information

@lauxmyth 10 месяцев назад

All of these high alt balloons pop and fall. I have never heard of them being collected anywhere else.

@sarahdangelo3168 7 месяцев назад

@@lauxmyth the balloons themselves usually made of natural latex, which biodegrades in many environments (though probably not Antarctica). University teams etc on limited budgets will often try to collect and re-fly their payloads, and NOAA payloads have instructions on them for how to return them for reuse in case someone happens across them. I've known some radio enthusiasts who would occasionally chase them down for fun.

@patriciamorgan6545 5 месяцев назад

@lauxmyth There's a multinational treaty that regulates Antarctic trash. Basically, all trash that's generated must be brought back out, to keep the landscape as pristine as possible, because of the important research being done there. I guess weather balloons that have drifted too far afield for safe recovery are exempt.

@Gunbudder 6 месяцев назад

the history of the NOAA corps is so weird. i haven ever even heard of the corps despite making use of NOAA data (and their websites) for over a decade lol. i had always assumed all people working for NOAA were just regular civilians. and according to the wikipedia summary of the history of NOAA corps, they exist (more or less) because they specifically aren't a branch of US armed forces. If it weren't for the US Civil War, it seems the entirety of NOAA corps would still be part of the USCG

@ingeborgswieten3710 6 месяцев назад

It, to me, seems the greatest job in the world working on the Antarctic airior.. maby a very heavy hard labor job.. but i would love the cold and snow and the research in such an environment.. superintresting.

@xFersureMatt Год назад

Is it only in the south pole that the Ozone is breaking or other parts of the globe as well?

@nanoflower1 11 месяцев назад

I think the situation is that the Ozone layer at the South Pole is thin enough that any change becomes easily detectable. Of course the concern with the CFCs is that they could continue destroying the Ozone layer and make it so that it would be dangerous to go outside even in the USA and other countries far removed from the south pole.

Couldn't "Thin Ozone" be explained by an absence of humidity...??? When sky-diving, a parachute needs to open at a lower altitude after the rate of descent has decreased... If you open too high the parachute can rip...

@choprjock 6 месяцев назад

In skydiving, you reach terminal velocity in a few seconds. After that, your descent rate does not speed up. Opening your parachute at a higher altitude doesn't increase the chances that your parachute will rip.

@patriciamorgan6545 5 месяцев назад

No, "thin ozone" is a measured decrease in the relative abundance of the ozone molecule in areas (atmospheric layer of defined altitude) where it is normally more abundant.
