National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a U.S. government agency that focuses on understanding and predicting changes in the Earth's environment. It studies the oceans, weather, and climate to provide vital information about natural phenomena like storms, rising sea levels, and climate change. NOAA is responsible for monitoring weather patterns, managing marine resources, and ensuring the safety of navigational waters. By collecting scientific data and conducting research, NOAA helps policymakers, businesses, and the public make informed decisions related to environmental and weather-related challenges.
