This bill directs the federal ocean and weather agency to run a project to make coastal marine fog forecasts better, with the goal of keeping vessels safer and reducing costly delays and accidents. It pushes for more on-the-water data and clearer, more useful fog warnings for the public.
To do this, the project would add more observations (like buoys, weather stations, instruments on platforms and vessels, unmanned systems, and new satellite images) and use better computer models and smarter algorithms to spot fog early and track it over time. It also aims to improve how NOAA communicates fog advisories so people can make informed choices.
