Ron Gird, NOAA/NWS, Silver Spring, MD; and E. Randee
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce is one of the world's premier scientific and environmental agencies. NOAA conducts research and gathers data and observations about the global oceans, atmosphere, space, and sun, and applies this knowledge to environmental prediction and services that touch the lives of all Americans. NOAA works with government, academia and private sector partners to provide the nation with high quality weather, water, climate and related environmental information.
NOAA provides services through five major organizations represented at the exhibit: NOAA National Weather Service, NOAA Oceans and Coasts, NOAA Fisheries, NOAA Satellites and Information, and NOAA Research. In addition, NOAA research and operational activities are supported by the NOAA Corps, a commissioned officer corps that operates NOAA ships and aircraft.
