National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a United States scientific and regulatory agency that plays a vital role in understanding and managing the Earth's environment. NOAA partners with other organizations, such as the National Science Foundation, to support research and education in the fields of oceanography and atmospheric science. The National Geodetic Survey provides accurate and reliable geospatial data that are used to support a wide range of applications, from navigation and mapping to emergency response and environmental monitoring. NOAA works closely with other federal agencies, such as the National Park Service, to support the conservation and management of the nation's natural resources. The National Centers for Environmental Information provide access to a wide range of environmental data and information, including climate data, weather data, and oceanographic data.
