Today, NOAA carries on the work begun by these agencies. Because of this broad base of scientific expertise and the geographic range under which NOAA science and observations are conducted, the NOAA collection includes thousands of weather and space images, hundreds of images of our shores and coastal seas, and thousands of marine species images ranging from the great whales to the most minute plankton. These agencies loomed large in the formation of the American science community as it exists today and not incidentally were and continue to be responsible for the saving of thousands of lives through warnings, forecasts, charts, and other products that help American citizens every day. NOAA and its ancestor organizations have had an enormous economic impact on our Nation. Here are some pages that will provide you with quick access to NOAA products, data and information.
