Re: [Paddlewise] Kayaking for credit?

Hi Phil T.

>Oceanography: self-evident

you are quite right. lots of possibilities. i would like to go to one for
kayak cooking.

anyway,

the VA Marine Science Consortium offered an oceanography course last spring
and probably will again next year. they also offer a biology course and i
think a marine geology course.

The woman who taught kayaking, ran that one also. The VA MSC is located near
NASA Wallops Flight Facility, which is close to Chincoteague Island. Some of
the oceanography was related to remote sensing of the ocean to measure wind
and rain from space. Some 30 elders visited my rain lab at NASA. the purpose
of the rain lab is to develop a method to measure winds in storms at sea
where it is raining. presently we can measure either wind or rain over the
ocean from space, but there is no way to measure wind where it is raining. i
think that we within 5 years we will be able to measure winds in storms.

bye bye bliven
