We’ve seen people who live near oil and gas wells complaining of health effects.” \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether those impacts are specifically caused by fracking is under debate, says Sommer. But in any event, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tulsaworld.com/business/article.aspx?subjectid=46&articleid=20121216_46_E1_CUTLIN180852\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">success of the technology\u003c/a> means that companies are more confident in their ability to extract oil efficiently and economically, and they’re ready to bring these improved techniques to California, which boasts the \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/audio/with-large-oil-reserve-california-faces-fracking-debate/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">country’s largest shale oil resource\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the fracking debate heats up here, a few things to pay attention to, compiled from \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201212190900\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KQED Public Radio’s recent Forum show on the regulations\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. DOGGR\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state agency that released the draft regulations is the \u003ca href=\"http://www.conservation.ca.gov/dog/Pages/Index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Conservation’s Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources\u003c/a> — “DOGGR” to friends. DOGGR is calling the first version of the guidelines a “discussion draft.” What does that mean? According to its website: “It is a starting point for discussion by key stakeholders – industry, the environmental community, and other regulators, as well as interested members of the public – in preparation for the more formal process, which probably will begin in early 2013.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are one of those interested members of the public, you can email your suggestions and concerns to comments@conservation.ca.gov. You can also sign up for updates on the regulation process and read the draft document \u003ca href=\"http://www.conservation.ca.gov/Index/Pages/Index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Well Integrity\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seemingly all sides of the fracking debate agree that the infrastructure of hydraulic fracturing, the wells themselves, is key to keeping the public safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathleen McGinty, former secretary of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.depweb.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt/community/dep_home/5968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection\u003c/a>, said that well integrity is especially important in hydraulic fracturing because “the well actually goes through the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquifer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aquifer\u003c/a>; it goes past where you are drawing your drinking water from. So it is incredibly important that the well is developed properly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGinty says that many people worry about the injected fracturing fluids contaminating drinking water. Instead, she said, the focus needs to be on preventing gas or oil leakage from wells.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where water quality has been compromised is not in the fracturing fluids getting into the water, but in there being leaks in the well so that the gas or the oil migrates into the drinking water,” said McGinty. “That is a problem. It is preventable, and we ought to keep our eye on that ball.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oil industry agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The whole issue, really, around hydraulic fracturing focuses on the integrity of the well,” said Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wspa.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Western States Petroleum Association\u003c/a>. “If that is maintained then hydraulic fracturing is not any different than any other oil-stimulating production technique. Those regulations are in place, have been in place, and it’s the reason, frankly, there has been no evidence of groundwater contamination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Water Use\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Mark Twain said: “Whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting over.” Nowhere is that more true than in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When prompted by Forum guest host \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/radio/about/staff/scott-shafer.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scott Shafer\u003c/a> to name a safety control she would like to see in place that may not sit well with oil companies, McGinty brought up water conservation, not water pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the sustainability of the gas and oil industry needs to be going in a direction of very significantly reducing its water footprint,” said McGinty. “Not just not polluting the water, but actually going to zero net consumption of water. Cleaning water, conserving water, that would be a big challenge, but I have to believe in a place like California it would be vitally important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The draft regulations do not currently address water consumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. The Upside\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/16/magazine/welcome-to-saudi-albany.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A recent article in the New York Times Magazine\u003c/a> quoted an analyst who says “that the natural gas industry will bring around three million new jobs to the United States by the end of this decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same article described natural gas extraction via fracking as “the economic equivalent of a gift from the heavens” for the American steel industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s more than economic benefits at stake. \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2012/12/05/usa-energy-independence-renewable/1749073/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Energy independence\u003c/a>, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California only produces 30 percent of what it needs in crude oil, said Reheis-Boyd, which leaves us relying on foreign imports. According to Reheis-Boyd, 42 million gallons of gasoline and 11 million gallons of diesel are used daily for transportation in the Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still have projections out to 2035 that 80 percent of our needs are going to be produced by coal, gas and oil,” said Reheis-Boyd. “If we stopped all of this tomorrow, we would have a revolution in California for people who expect to get up every day and drive from A to B affordably, to turn their lights on, and heat and cool their homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And McGinty argues that increased natural gas production has actually led to lower greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have what’s called ‘coal to gas switching,'” said McGinty, “with a lot more natural gas coming on and that has led to a pretty significant drop — for the first time in decades — in greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Trade Secret Exemptions: Big Loophole?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Companies will have to disclose what they’re injecting into the ground, which often includes diesel compounds and known carcinogens, unless they claim a ‘trade secret’ exemption,'” said KQED’s Lauren Sommer. Under the exemption, companies only have to disclose what family the injected chemicals are from. Critics say this is a loophole, one that has been taken for granted — \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/18/calif-regulators-release-draft-fracking-regulations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19,000 times\u003c/a>, in fact — by companies in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the controversy over transparency doesn’t end there. People will only know about fracking at a specific location if they check a \u003ca href=\"http://fracfocus.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">designated website\u003c/a>, most likely several days before the fracking begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no rule that says that oil companies actually have to notify land owners nearby,” said Sommer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That does not sit well with critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To have people who live in an oil drilling area look at the website every day to find out if a well is going to be drilled and fracked near them is basically absurd,” said Bill Allayaud, California Director of Government Affairs for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ewg.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Environmental Working Group\u003c/a>. “Why can’t, when someone’s building a project in your neighborhood, you get a notice by mail?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reheis-Boyd defends the exemption: “Trade secrets are really not about oil companies as much as they are in promoting competition, and that competition always benefits the public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Interagency Coordination\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DOGGR acknowledges environmental concerns about groundwater, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions but isn’t quite sure if they fall under its jurisdiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly, there is a big concern with air pollution and methane, which is a pretty potent greenhouse gas which comes out of wells,” said Sommer. “And there is obviously a concern with groundwater supply. But [DOGGR] is saying they’re in discussions with other agencies about how to deal with those issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So keeping up on California’s fracking regulations means following the bureaucratic bridges between DOGGR, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">State Water Resources Control Board\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/cc.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Air Resources Board\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Cleaning water, conserving water, that would be a big challenge, but I have to believe in a place like California it would be vitally important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The draft regulations do not currently address water consumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. The Upside\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/16/magazine/welcome-to-saudi-albany.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A recent article in the New York Times Magazine\u003c/a> quoted an analyst who says “that the natural gas industry will bring around three million new jobs to the United States by the end of this decade.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same article described natural gas extraction via fracking as “the economic equivalent of a gift from the heavens” for the American steel industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s more than economic benefits at stake. \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2012/12/05/usa-energy-independence-renewable/1749073/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Energy independence\u003c/a>, for example.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California only produces 30 percent of what it needs in crude oil, said Reheis-Boyd, which leaves us relying on foreign imports. According to Reheis-Boyd, 42 million gallons of gasoline and 11 million gallons of diesel are used daily for transportation in the Golden State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still have projections out to 2035 that 80 percent of our needs are going to be produced by coal, gas and oil,” said Reheis-Boyd. “If we stopped all of this tomorrow, we would have a revolution in California for people who expect to get up every day and drive from A to B affordably, to turn their lights on, and heat and cool their homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And McGinty argues that increased natural gas production has actually led to lower greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have what’s called ‘coal to gas switching,'” said McGinty, “with a lot more natural gas coming on and that has led to a pretty significant drop — for the first time in decades — in greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Trade Secret Exemptions: Big Loophole?\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Companies will have to disclose what they’re injecting into the ground, which often includes diesel compounds and known carcinogens, unless they claim a ‘trade secret’ exemption,'” said KQED’s Lauren Sommer. Under the exemption, companies only have to disclose what family the injected chemicals are from. Critics say this is a loophole, one that has been taken for granted — \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/12/18/calif-regulators-release-draft-fracking-regulations/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">19,000 times\u003c/a>, in fact — by companies in Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the controversy over transparency doesn’t end there. People will only know about fracking at a specific location if they check a \u003ca href=\"http://fracfocus.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">designated website\u003c/a>, most likely several days before the fracking begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no rule that says that oil companies actually have to notify land owners nearby,” said Sommer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That does not sit well with critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To have people who live in an oil drilling area look at the website every day to find out if a well is going to be drilled and fracked near them is basically absurd,” said Bill Allayaud, California Director of Government Affairs for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ewg.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Environmental Working Group\u003c/a>. “Why can’t, when someone’s building a project in your neighborhood, you get a notice by mail?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reheis-Boyd defends the exemption: “Trade secrets are really not about oil companies as much as they are in promoting competition, and that competition always benefits the public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>6. Interagency Coordination\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DOGGR acknowledges environmental concerns about groundwater, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions but isn’t quite sure if they fall under its jurisdiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly, there is a big concern with air pollution and methane, which is a pretty potent greenhouse gas which comes out of wells,” said Sommer. “And there is obviously a concern with groundwater supply. But [DOGGR] is saying they’re in discussions with other agencies about how to deal with those issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Last week, federal land managers auctioned off nearly 18,000 acres of oil leases on public lands in Central California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's where California's Monterey Shale formation is located. The formation contains more than 15 billion barrels of \"technically recoverable shale oil,\" more than the amount contained in the Bakken oil fields of Montana and North Dakota, according to a U.S. Energy Information Administration estimate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's not known is whether fracking is the best method for recovering the energy resource, said Tupper Hull, a spokesman for the Western States Petroleum Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's quite a bit of exploration taking place and people trying to answer that question,\" Hull said. \"We think the jury is still out on whether or not this resource can be developed, but there's no question there's a lot of energy locked in that shale.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public will have a chance to comment on the proposed rules early in 2013 in a process that will take about a year to finalize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These regulations ... go well beyond disclosure requirements to require rigorous testing and evaluation before, during and after hydraulic fracturing operations to ensure that wells and geologic formations remain competent and that drinking water is not contaminated,\" the agency said in comments posted on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of the testing and evaluation requirements of the proposed regulations have not yet been implemented by any other state,\" it said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the chemical disclosure requirement was hailed by some fracking critics as an important step forward, California's draft rules also include a \"trade secrets\" exemption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trade secrets exemption would allow a company to bypass public reporting of the specific chemicals in \"fracking fluid\" if that information would reveal secrets that competitors could use to gain an advantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In lieu of specifics, companies would be required instead to post the \"chemical family or similar descriptor\" for the agents it is using.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors and nurses treating anyone harmed by a chemical spill or groundwater contamination would be required to sign non-disclosure agreements before a trade-secret protected company would identify the chemicals it uses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the privately-owned website on which operators would be required to report the chemicals — FracFocus.org — has been criticized as hard to use and not subject to freedom of information laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These draft regulations would keep California's fracking shrouded in secrecy and do little to contain the many threats posed by fracking,\" Kassie Siegel of the Center for Biological Diversity said in a statement.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca name=\"regulations\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED Science's Lauren Sommer has broken up the proposed regulations into different categories:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Public Disclosure\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Drillers would be required to notify the state at least 10 days in advance of beginning hydraulic fracturing. DOGGR will post that information online within seven days, giving the public a minimum of three days of notice.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Landowners would not get direct notification when fracking takes place near or on their land. “What is the harm in letting someone know that fracking or oil drilling will occur next door to them?” asks Bill Allayaud of the Environmental Working Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli> There is also a provision for “confidential wells.” If an oil and gas company is drilling in a new oil field, their activities, including fracking, can be kept secret for two years. State regulators say this allows oil companies to explore new areas for a period of time before they reveal information to their competitors.Operators would have to disclose what chemicals they’re using during fracking and their concentrations are – except in cases where they claim the information would give competitors an advantage. In that case, they must disclosure the general chemical family or other information.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Trade secret exemptions, as they’re known, have been controversial in other states. In Texas, where they’ve been claimed 19,000 times in the last year, lawmakers are concerned the exemptions have become a loophole.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Well Construction\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Oil companies would be required to look for old wells and geologic faults that could allow fracking fluids to reach the groundwater supply. “We are leading or are on the cutting edge in a number of areas,” says Jason Marshall, Chief Deputy Director of the California Department of Conservation. “Texas has proposing a regulation like that, but no other states have adopted it.”\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Oil companies would be required to look for weaknesses in well construction by pressure testing before hydraulic fracturing. They’ll have to monitor the well during hydraulic fracturing and for 30 days after.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>When the well casing fails (the metal pipe that contains the well), companies must report it to state regulators, but the information is not part of the public disclosure process. DOGGR doesn’t know how many wells fail a year in California, though they say the information is contained in public documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Environmental protection\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The draft regulations wouldn’t require drillers to monitor the groundwater around fracking sites or to gather baseline data before they frack. State officials say the California Department of Public Heath monitors the water quality of drinking water wells statewide, but they believe widespread testing falls under the jurisdiction of the State Water Resources Control Board. “We’re reviewing their draft regulations and commenting as needed,” says Tim Moran of the State Water Board, but he says they aren’t working on new groundwater testing rules around hydraulic fracturing.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Methane and other air pollutants have been connected to oil and gas wells, an issue not addressed in these draft regulations, saying they’re in discussion with the California Air Resources Control Board. “These draft regulations are extremely weak and don’t protect our air, water or climate,” says Kassie Siegel of the Environmental Working Group. “Well operators would not be required to collect basic air quality and water quality data prior to fracking that is needed to effectively monitor and verify damage from fracking.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

The formation contains more than 15 billion barrels of \"technically recoverable shale oil,\" more than the amount contained in the Bakken oil fields of Montana and North Dakota, according to a U.S. Energy Information Administration estimate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's not known is whether fracking is the best method for recovering the energy resource, said Tupper Hull, a spokesman for the Western States Petroleum Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's quite a bit of exploration taking place and people trying to answer that question,\" Hull said. \"We think the jury is still out on whether or not this resource can be developed, but there's no question there's a lot of energy locked in that shale.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public will have a chance to comment on the proposed rules early in 2013 in a process that will take about a year to finalize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These regulations ... go well beyond disclosure requirements to require rigorous testing and evaluation before, during and after hydraulic fracturing operations to ensure that wells and geologic formations remain competent and that drinking water is not contaminated,\" the agency said in comments posted on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of the testing and evaluation requirements of the proposed regulations have not yet been implemented by any other state,\" it said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the chemical disclosure requirement was hailed by some fracking critics as an important step forward, California's draft rules also include a \"trade secrets\" exemption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trade secrets exemption would allow a company to bypass public reporting of the specific chemicals in \"fracking fluid\" if that information would reveal secrets that competitors could use to gain an advantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In lieu of specifics, companies would be required instead to post the \"chemical family or similar descriptor\" for the agents it is using.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors and nurses treating anyone harmed by a chemical spill or groundwater contamination would be required to sign non-disclosure agreements before a trade-secret protected company would identify the chemicals it uses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the privately-owned website on which operators would be required to report the chemicals — FracFocus.org — has been criticized as hard to use and not subject to freedom of information laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These draft regulations would keep California's fracking shrouded in secrecy and do little to contain the many threats posed by fracking,\" Kassie Siegel of the Center for Biological Diversity said in a statement.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca name=\"regulations\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED Science's Lauren Sommer has broken up the proposed regulations into different categories:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Public Disclosure\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Drillers would be required to notify the state at least 10 days in advance of beginning hydraulic fracturing. DOGGR will post that information online within seven days, giving the public a minimum of three days of notice.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Landowners would not get direct notification when fracking takes place near or on their land. “What is the harm in letting someone know that fracking or oil drilling will occur next door to them?” asks Bill Allayaud of the Environmental Working Group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli> There is also a provision for “confidential wells.” If an oil and gas company is drilling in a new oil field, their activities, including fracking, can be kept secret for two years. State regulators say this allows oil companies to explore new areas for a period of time before they reveal information to their competitors.Operators would have to disclose what chemicals they’re using during fracking and their concentrations are – except in cases where they claim the information would give competitors an advantage. In that case, they must disclosure the general chemical family or other information.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Trade secret exemptions, as they’re known, have been controversial in other states. In Texas, where they’ve been claimed 19,000 times in the last year, lawmakers are concerned the exemptions have become a loophole.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Well Construction\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Oil companies would be required to look for old wells and geologic faults that could allow fracking fluids to reach the groundwater supply. “We are leading or are on the cutting edge in a number of areas,” says Jason Marshall, Chief Deputy Director of the California Department of Conservation. “Texas has proposing a regulation like that, but no other states have adopted it.”\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Oil companies would be required to look for weaknesses in well construction by pressure testing before hydraulic fracturing. They’ll have to monitor the well during hydraulic fracturing and for 30 days after.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>When the well casing fails (the metal pipe that contains the well), companies must report it to state regulators, but the information is not part of the public disclosure process. DOGGR doesn’t know how many wells fail a year in California, though they say the information is contained in public documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The journey covered 9,000 nautical miles and set a \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/blogs/trending/2012/12/06/wave_glider_papa_mau_robot_swims_9_000_miles_from_san_francisco_to_australia.html\">new world record\u003c/a> for the longest distance traveled by an autonomous vehicle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the trip, the craft also gathered information about rough weather that wasn't detected by a satellite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scientific American \u003ca href=\"http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=robot-glider-rogue-wave-satellite\">reported on\u003c/a> the weather findings today and spoke with the CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://liquidr.com/pacx/pacific-crossing.html\">Liquid Robotics\u003c/a>, which developed the Papa Mau. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>On what appeared to be a calm, sunny day last February, Papa Mau transmitted data indicating rough weather—six- to 7.6-meter rolling seas and winds blowing at 50 knots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was not a cloud in the sky, nothing was on the satellites,” says Bill Vass, CEO of Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Liquid Robotics, a provider of ocean data services for shipping, energy and environmental companies. “And we said, ‘Oh, there must be something wrong with [the submarine’s] sensors.’ But when all four robots saw [the waves], we turned on the cameras. It was pretty astounding.” Nearby, an unfortunate sailboat lost its mast and was rescued by a Dutch freighter. “Besides that sailboat, the freighter, and us, no one would have seen those waves,” Vass adds.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Vass told Scientific American that the Papa Mau's findings highlight the inaccuracies of satellites that work to detect conditions on the ocean from more than 200 miles above the Earth's surface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>After comparing satellite data with his robots’ findings, Vass believes satellites detect surface shear, which comes from winds and broad currents. There are two dimensions to surface shear. One is the difference in currents at the ocean’s surface compared with those flowing at lower levels of the water column. The second occurs when two currents collide and generate smaller localized eddies and turbulence. Both are important to know when determining circulation and its effect on shipping energy usage and fuel consumption.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Vass and others from Liquid Robotics talk more about the Papa Mau in this video from the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/DTnpZGXLRw4\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was pretty astounding.” Nearby, an unfortunate sailboat lost its mast and was rescued by a Dutch freighter. “Besides that sailboat, the freighter, and us, no one would have seen those waves,” Vass adds.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Vass told Scientific American that the Papa Mau's findings highlight the inaccuracies of satellites that work to detect conditions on the ocean from more than 200 miles above the Earth's surface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>After comparing satellite data with his robots’ findings, Vass believes satellites detect surface shear, which comes from winds and broad currents. There are two dimensions to surface shear. One is the difference in currents at the ocean’s surface compared with those flowing at lower levels of the water column. The second occurs when two currents collide and generate smaller localized eddies and turbulence. Both are important to know when determining circulation and its effect on shipping energy usage and fuel consumption.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Vass and others from Liquid Robotics talk more about the Papa Mau in this video from the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/DTnpZGXLRw4\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
