National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , known as NOAA , has a central role in most US weather forecasts.
Atmospheric scientists Christine Wiedinmyer and Kari Bowen , a former National Weather Service forecaster, explain why NOAA is essential for accurate national weather forecasting and warnings.
NOAA ’s data comes from many sources to provide a more complete picture of developing climate and weather conditions.
NOAA is taxpayer-funded, so it is a public good, not just those who can pay for it.
Forecasts have to take the changing climate into account to be accurate, no matter who is creating the forecast.
The agency’s long-range forecasts are essential for managing state reservoirs to ensure enough water is saved and to avoid flooding.
