Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory

The Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) is a research center part of NOAA that studies the Atlantic Ocean, weather, and climate. It focuses on understanding ocean currents, sea conditions, hurricanes, and climate patterns to improve forecasting and protect communities. AOML conducts scientific research, collects data, and develops technology to better understand how the ocean and atmosphere interact and influence weather systems. Its work helps governments, scientists, and the public prepare for weather-related events, support marine activities, and address climate change impacts.
