This morning I was treated to a ride on Aluminum Chambered Boats (ACB) All Hazard Response Bowloader vessel, or Joint Multi–mission Expeditionary Craft (JMEC). It operates like a helicopter in the water, swiveling in any directions, stopping on a dime.
Science nerds, geography nerds, weather nerds, even boat nerds have to love NASA's Earth Observatory website (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov).
