Atmospheric Administration

The Atmospheric Administration, specifically the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is a U.S. government agency responsible for monitoring and understanding weather, climate, oceans, and the atmosphere. It provides critical weather forecasts, warnings for severe storms, and scientific data to help protect lives, property, and the environment. NOAA also conducts research on climate change and manages marine resources, supporting sustainable use of ocean and coastal areas. Its work helps communities prepare for natural disasters, supports fishing and shipping industries, and advances scientific knowledge about Earth's systems.
