National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a science-based federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. From daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings, and climate monitoring to fisheries management, coastal restoration, and supporting marine commerce, NOAA’s products and services affect more than one-third of America’s gross domestic product. NOAA’s dedicated scientists use cutting-edge research and high-tech tools to provide citizens, planners, emergency managers, and other decision-makers with reliable information they need when they need it.
