benefit the NOAA mission, but should also be responsive to the greater market demands in order to be successful. The next version of FCOM will be outfitted with a hydrophone and ice-detection algorithms so that it can resurface after ice retreats without having a pre-programmed date. The sun-synchronous orbit means that at some locations and times 'night' will follow 'day', while at others 'day' will follow 'night', and there is a longitude at which the local time switches by nearly 24 hours. NOAA's Office of Marine and Aviation Operations operates a wide variety of specialized aircraft and ships to complete NOAA's environmental and scientific missions. Our strategies in the fields of (1) Uncrewed Systems (UxS), (2) Artificial Intelligence (AI), (3) Cloud Computing, the use of advanced methods to analyze material such as DNA, RNA, or proteins, called (4) ‘Omics, (5) Data, and (6) Citizen Science, will help us more efficiently and effectively adopt the breakthrough S&T applications to help deliver the world’s best weather forecasts and to grow the American Blue Economy.The use of these tools is not new to NOAA. ARL’s research focus area is on the surface of the earth from one meter below the soil up to 2,000 meters in the atmosphere (aka the boundary layer), which has a significant impact on people’s health and safety, business, and the environment. Learn more about the ARL-developed HYSPLIT model,HYSPLIT Model Produces Record Setting 1.5 Million Simulations in 2019,ARL develops HYSPLIT powered, web-based locust tracking app for the United Nations,Investigating COVID-19’s impacts on air quality.The Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) mission is to improve the ability of the Nation to protect human and ecosystem health and to support a vibrant economy through advanced atmospheric sciences and technologies. The NOAA Unmanned Systems, Artificial Intelligence, 'Omics, and Cloud Strategies are intended to dramatically expand our application of these four emerging science and technology focus areas by improving the efficiency, effectiveness and coordination of their development and usage across the agency. National Ocean Service (NOS) NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) is the nation's premier science agency for oceans and coasts. OMAO is also responsible for the administration and implementation of the Aviation Safety Program, Small Boat Program and NOAA Diving Program to ensure safe and efficient operations in NOAA-sponsored aviation, small boat and underwater activities.NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service is the federal agency, a division of the Department of Commerce, responsible for the stewardship of the nation's living marine resources and their habitat. NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratoies in Boulder, Colorado pursue a broad and comprehensive understanding of the Earth system.

".NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) is dedicated to providing timely access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources to promote, protect, and enhance the Nation's economy, security, environment, and quality of life. The NOAA-18 bird crosses the equator at 0130 and 1330. Email: oar.rc.execsec@noaa.gov About Us The mission of the NOAA Research Council is to ensure all NOAA research and development (R&D) activities are strategically managed across NOAA to fulfill the Agency’s science mission and improve its service and stewardship missions in accordance with NOAA’s corporate vision, goals, objectives, and priorities. In fact we have robust experience and demonstrated leadership with applications across a variety of mission areas and are already delivering successful operational systems that are beginning to pay dividends.

The purview of the NOAA Research Council is the conduct and management of R&D (both conducted and funded), as defined in NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 216-115.NOAA’s new strategies in six key science and technology (S&T) focus areas will guide.in the quality and timeliness of NOAA’s products and services across our mission areas. NOS delivers the tools and services needed to understand, predict, and respond to the challenges we face along America's 95,000 miles of shoreline and 3.5 million square miles of coastal, Great Lakes, and deep-ocean waters. Our role is to provide unbiased science to better manage the environment, nationally and globally.The National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, hydrologic, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters and ocean areas, for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy.

ARL’s vision is that the Nation effectively protects people, the environment, and commercial activities from atmospheric risks from a variety of scientific disciplines.Advancing Atmospheric Science and Technology through Research,HYSPLIT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs),Atmospheric Sciences Modeling Division (ASMD),Atmospheric Turbulence & Diffusion Division (ATDD),Special Operations & Research Division (SORD).

NOAA’s Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) or "NOAA Research" provides the research foundation for understanding the complex systems that support our planet. To illustrate, UxS is already helping us map and explore more of America’s oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes;  AI is analyzing satellite data for severe weather and wildfire detection; Cloud computing partnerships with commercial cloud service providers allow NOAA to make more of its valuable data publicly accessible; NOAA already manages (or has extensive experience managing) environmental data that form the basis of NOAA's scientific products and services; and, ‘omics is already informing fisheries management decisions. NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory (CSL): envisioning a nation that has the needed scientific understanding and information about our atmosphere (environmental intelligence) to make optimal decisions in the interests of the well being of current and future generations.
