com.S. The sensors provide frequent observations, subject to
clouds, of ocean color that can be used to detect regional storm water runoff
and complement the finer resolution but less frequent radar imagery.

but not necessarily which parts of it are harmful," Holt said.

"Clean beaches and coastal waters are integral to Southern California's
economy and lifestyle," said Dr."
While the researchers said environmental conditions such as wind and waves
can limit the ability of space radar to detect ocean pollution, they stressed
the only major limitation of the technique is infrequent coverage .

empathy, makes her a perfect fit for 'Prudence'," said Jacob Weisberg, editor
of Slate, "I am thrilled that she is expanding her involvement at Slate. Paul DiGiacomo, an oceanographer at NASA's
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL ), Pasadena, Calif.
"During late fall to early spring, storms contribute more than 95 percent
of the region's annual runoff volume and pollutant load," said JPL co-author
Ben Holt.
Further research is necessary to determine the composition of pollution
hazards detected by radar .

during and after storms. Space imaging radar can track seepage on the ocean
surface, as well as human-caused oil spills, which are often affected by ocean
circulation patterns that make other tracking techniques difficult.

Emily Yoffe Becomes The New Voice Behind Slate's 'Dear Prudence'

Knight Journalism
Fellow at Stanford University She is a graduate of Wellesley College and lives
in Chevy Chase, Maryland with her husband and their 10 year -old daughter.
Yoffe will appear on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report on Wednesday,
February 1, to discuss some of odd things she's done as the Human Guinea Pig. "Since such hazards are
usually localized, dynamic and episodic, they're hard to assess using
oceanographic field sampling.
The second largest source of the area's pollution is wastewater discharge.
Natural hydrocarbon seeps are another local pollution hazard. "If connections
can be established, imaging radar may be able to help predict the most harmful
parts of the runoff.

storm water runoff, wastewater discharge and natural hydrocarbon seepage. Even though
it is discharged deep offshore, submerged plumes occasionally reach the
surface and can contaminate local shorelines .
