	NOAA's National Weather Service is the primary source of weather data, forecasts and warnings for the United States. Television weathercasters and private meteorology companies prepare their forecasts using this information. The NWS is the sole United States official voice for issuing warnings during life-threatening weather.

	Ocean Climate Laboratory - develops improved ocean climatologies for annual, seasonal, and monthly compositing periods; investigates interannual-to-decadal ocean climate variability using historical oceanographic data; builds scientifically, quality-controlled global oceanographic databases; facilitates international exchange of oceanographic data.
	Climate Monitoring & Diagnostics Laboratory - conducts sustained observations and research related to source and sink strengths, trends and global distributions of atmospheric constituents that are capable of forcing change in the climate of Earth through modification of the atmospheric radiative environment, those that may cause depletion of the global ozone layer, and those that affect baseline air quality. CMDL accomplishes this mission primarily through long-term measurements of key atmospheric species at sites spanning the globe, including four fully-equipped Baseline Observatories.
