NOAA ADDS FOUR NEW DART BUOYS TO THE U.S. TSUNAMI WARNING SYSTEM

NOAA ADDS FOUR NEW DART BUOYS TO THE U.S. TSUNAMI WARNING SYSTEM: "August 21, 2006 — NOAA completed a month-long cruise today aboard the R/V Blue Fin to install deep-ocean assessment and reporting of tsunami, or DART, buoy stations in Alaskan waters. The mission also included service and upgrades to two existing DART stations. The DART system provides real-time tsunami detection as waves travel across open waters. This deployment brings the total U.S. network to 19 DART II stations."
