CENIC Support for NOAA
Categories Cultural & Scientific RENS & NRENS Pacific Wave
We have come to expect much from those who predict and forecast weather as our ever-changing climate impacts our lives. And those whose job it is to provide us with that information rely on NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, within the US Department of Commerce. Today NOAA’s predictive strength is linked to N-Wave, it's network service provider that ensures high quality, highly scalable connections and network solutions to its federal agency via science, research, and education partners across the country.
