The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)<\/a> Mission:<\/strong><\/p>

NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), provides secure and timely access to global environmental data and information from satellites and other sources to promote and protect the nation’s security, environment, economy, and quality of life.<\/p>

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u2019s (NOAA) mission is to understand and predict changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coasts, to share that knowledge and information with others, and to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources as the Nation\u2019s authoritative environmental intelligence agency.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        Training events:<\/strong><\/p>

        NOAA provides support to the monthly climate and weather Regional Focus Group discussions. These sessions are bi-lingual (English and Spanish). The sessions promote a community of practice to support continuing professional development.<\/p>

        WMO, NOAA, and Regional Partners collaborate to conduct 2 satellite workshops of approximately 5 days in length each year. One workshop is targeted for Regional Association III and the other for RA IV. Where possible, we aim to conduct the sessions in the language of the host country.<\/p>

        NOAA conducts a Satellite User Conference every other year to gather input from stakeholders on satellite data applications, usage, and training.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
