NOAA and Jack Elrod at the 2004 NSTA Convention
April 1 - 4, 2004


NOAA and the NWS Forecast Office in Peachtree City recently participated in the NSTA's Annual Convention held in Atlanta. At the 4-day event held in early April, we were pleased to be able to present an exhibit covering three topics that NOAA has identified as strategic goals for the agency:

  1. Protecting/Restoring/Managing Coastal and Ocean Ecosystems
  2. Understanding Climate Change
  3. Providing Weather and Water Information

A highlight of the event was the participation of Jack Elrod, the author/artist of the "Mark Trail" comic strip. He uses the strip to promote NOAA WEATHER RADIO, a vital method of disseminating critical weather information across the nation.
