Description:

Virtually all economic sectors and many public and private activities are affected in some measure by changes in weather and climate. Uncertainties in the scope and severity of these changes pose financial and social risks for individuals, businesses, and government agencies. Hence, achieving more accurate weather and climate forecasts contributes to well being and the economy by reducing risk and creating new opportunities. Over the past four decades the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have made considerable scientific progress towards enhancing the accuracy of weather and climate predictions.
