NOAA’s vast public weather data powers the local forecasts on your phone and TV – a private company alone couldn’t match it

NOAA operates fleets of satellites, sensors on airplanes and ocean-going buoys, as well as radar, providing the data used by weather forecasters nationwide – and freely available to anyone.
