DEFINITION OF NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA)

This government agency conducts research and

gathers data about the global oceans, atmosphere, space, and

sun and applies this knowledge to science and service that

touch lives of all Americans. NOAA’s mission is to describe

and predict changes in the Earth’s environment and conserve

and wisely manage the nation’s coastal and marine resources.

NOAA’s strategy consists of seven interrelated strategic goals

for environmental assessment, prediction, and stewardship.

These include: (1) advance short-term warnings and forecast

services, (2) implement seasonal to interannual climate forecasts,

(3) assess and predict decadal to centennial change, (4)

promote safe navigation, (5) build sustainable fisheries, (6)

recover protected species, and (7) sustain healthy coastal

ecosystems. NOAA runs a Web site (http://www.noaa.gov/)

that includes links to current satellite images of weather hazards,

issues warnings of current coastal hazards and disasters,

and has an extensive historical and educational service. The

National Hurricane Center (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/) is a

branch of NOAA and posts regular updates of hurricane paths

and hazards. NOAA includes the following organizations:

1. NOAA National Weather Service (http://www.nws.noaa.

gov/),

2. NOAA Satellites and Information (http://www.nesdis.noaa.

gov/),

3. NOAA Fisheries (http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/),

4. NOAA Ocean Service (http://www.oceanservice.noaa.gov/),

5. NOAA Research (http://www.research.noaa.gov/),
