News
In an announcement on February 8, the Department of Commerce and NOAA proposed establishing a NOAA Climate Service. NOAA is increasingly asked for information about
climate variability and climate change from across diverse sectors and interests. To meet this demand, the proposed NOAA Climate Service would provide a single, reliable and authoritative source for climate data, information, and decision-support services, akin to the role of the NOAA
National Weather Service with respect to weather data and services. While details of the implementation are still being worked out, NOAA expects to have a functional NOAA Climate Service up and running by late 2010 or early 2011.
