National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service

The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) is a part of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Its primary role is to collect and manage environmental data from satellites, such as weather patterns, ocean temperatures, and atmospheric conditions. This information is crucial for understanding climate change, forecasting weather, and monitoring natural disasters. By providing accurate data and imagery, NESDIS supports decision-making for government agencies, researchers, and the public, enhancing our ability to respond to environmental challenges and protect our planet.
