Summary[edit]

Description

Valdez is known as the "Snow Capital of Alaska," where seasonal snowfall can exceed 560 inches, more snow than any sea-level station in the United States. In addition to its public service responsibilities, the NOAA NWS Valdez office serves as the regional hub for the collection of ship observations via satellite telephone. Privacy concerns voiced by various mariners, fueled the pilot program in September 2004. Since the program's inception, WSO Valdez has disseminated over 800 real-time observations a month during peak fishing seasons. These observations provide support to the NWS forecast and warning programs and have a major impact on global, regional and local climate analysis.
