An animation of NOAA's GOES-East satellite imagery from Nov. 25 through 27
showed the complex storm system moving over the U.S. East Coast causing
troublesome holiday travel.
Visible and infrared images taken from NOAA's satellites were animated by the
NASA GOES Project at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., to
create a 28-second movie. The movie shows the progression of a low pressure area
that developed in the Gulf of Mexico and cold fronts that were sweeping from
west to east.

The National Weather Service noted that a complex and powerful storm system
continues to generate widespread moderate to heavy rainfall and snows in various
parts of the eastern United States as travelers make their way to destinations
to celebrate Thanksgiving and Hanukkah on Nov. 28. There are two low-pressure
areas working together. One was centered near New Jersey while the other was
located over the Carolinas.

From the Southeast to New England widespread moderate to heavy rainfall is
expected. The rains will also affect the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United
States, although those regions are not expected to get as much of a soaking.
The Appalachians and interior New England are expected to receive snowfall.
Areas of heavy snow are forecast for northwestern Indiana and northwestern
Pennsylvania on Nov. 27. Snows will blanket the north central United States from
the Dakotas to Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, the Ohio and Tennessee
Valleys, upstate New York and parts of northern New England.

States was taken on Nov. 25, 2013 by the Suomi NPP satellite and shows the
system as it moves through the South and Midwest.

Deadline Approaching for Undergraduates to Fly Research
in Microgravity
NASA is offering undergraduate students from minority serving institutions
the opportunity to test an experiment in microgravity as part of the agency's
Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program, in association with the Minority
University Research and Education Program.
The deadline for proposals is Dec. 4. The actual flight will take place in
June 2014. All applicants must be U.S. citizens, full-time students and at least
18 years old.
The initiative provides future scientists and engineers an opportunity to
design and build an experiment and fly with their experiment aboard a
microgravity aircraft. A modified Boeing 727-200 performs a series of steep
climbs and dips -- like a roller coaster. The effects simulate micro- and
hyper-gravity and provide an environment for scientific research, hands-on
experimental design, test operations and public outreach activities.
Selected teams will be allowed to invite an accredited journalist to fly with
them to document the experiment and gravity-defying educational experience.
The Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program is managed by the education
office at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. The program helps support the
agency's education policy of using NASA's unique missions and programs to
encourage students to pursue science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)
careers.
