NOAA.gov is the official website of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a federal agency dedicated to the protection and management of the environment, specifically the ocean and atmosphere. The website provides detailed information on topics such as weather, climate, marine and coastal resources, fisheries, and satellite data. It also offers educational materials, news and announcements, forecasts and warnings, and access to data and products. Visitors can find information on current conditions, research, and ways to get involved in helping to protect and manage the environment. NOAA.gov is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the environment.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was officially founded on Oct. 3, 1970.

In 2007, NOAA celebrated 200 years of service in its role as successor to the United States Survey of the Coast.

The amount of data NOAA collects every day, twice the volume of data of the entire printed collection of the U.S. Library of Congress.

NOAA’s products and services support economic vitality and affect more than one-third of America’s gross domestic product.

For Earth observation and weather forecasting, NOAA operates and manages a fleet of satellites in concert with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
