The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, pronounced /ˈnoʊ.ə/, like "Noah") is an American scientific agency within the United States Department of Commerce focused on the conditions of the oceans and the atmosphere. NOAA warns of dangerous weather, charts seas and skies, guides the use and protection of ocean and coastal resources, and conducts research to improve understanding and stewardship of the environment. In addition to its civilian employees, 12,000 as of 2012, NOAA research and operations are supported by 300 uniformed service members who make up the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps. The current Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere at the Department of Commerce and the agency's administrator is Kathryn D. Sullivan, who was nominated February 28, 2013, and confirmed March 6, 2014.
NOAA plays several specific roles in society, the benefits of which extend beyond the US economy and into the larger global community:
Law enforcement is any system by which some members of society act in an organized manner to enforce the law by discovering, deterring, rehabilitating, or punishing people who violate the rules and norms governing that society. Although the term may encompass entities such as courts and prisons, it is most frequently applied to those who directly engage in patrols or surveillance to dissuade and discover criminal activity, and those who investigate crimes and apprehend offenders, a task typically carried out by the police or another law enforcement agency. Furthermore, although law enforcement may be most concerned with the prevention and punishment of crimes, organizations exist to discourage a wide variety of non-criminal violations of rules and norms, effected through the imposition of less severe consequences.
Most law enforcement is conducted by some type of law enforcement agency, with the most typical agency fulfilling this role being the police. Societal investment in enforcement through such organizations can be massive, both in terms of the resources invested in the activity, and in the number of people professionally engaged to perform those functions.
NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is the United States government's oldest scientific agency, with roots stretching back to the early 1800s. In 1970 many smaller government agencies came together to form NOAA and today, NOAA's work reaches from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sun, and it touches every aspect of our daily lives. Among the many responsibilities of NOAA are the mandates to protect our coasts, forecast our weather, monitor our atmosphere, manage our fisheries, explore our ocean, chart our waterways, understand our climate, and conserve our maritime heritage.

Julia, is the name given to the unknown source of a sound recorded on March 1, 1999. It was recorded on the eastern equatorial Pacific, using an autonomous hydrophone array. Heard for many thousands of kilometres, the source of the sound has been largely dismissed as an iceberg running aground somewhere off of Antarctica, it’s the point of origin being somewhere between Bransfield Straits and Cape Adare. What gave this story a rather chilling twist however, is a classified image which later surfaced, a classified image later redacted, taken by a NASA satellite, which shows something with an enormous shadow, within the waters of Cape Adare at the time, which if confirmed as a living animal, would be classified as a sea monster of gigantic proportions.

This NOAA Fisheries video presents an inside look at NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement, a key part in protecting and conserving our nation's living marine resources and their habitat.
The White House plans steep cuts at NOAA, which scientists say, could put American lives at risk.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration take off from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska on a research mission over the Arctic Ocean. Story produced by Senior Airman Jason Treffry.
This video demonstrates how warm water in the central Pacific can influence prevailing pressure and precipitation patterns across the ocean basin. These atmospheric disturbances influence the average position of the Jet Stream. In turn, the jet alters temperature and precipitation patterns in the United States. Video produced by the Climate.gov team in cooperation with climate and Earth scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other agencies and institutions.

NOAA special agents and enforcement officers handle more than 3,000 seafood fraud, marine mammal protection and fisheries-related incidents per year in the United States. This video focuses on the investigative work of NOAA Office of Law Enforcement special agents.

From July 2 – August 10, 2016, an international and multi-disciplinary team of scientists, media personnel, and educators will sail to the Arctic's Chukchi Borderlands onboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy. They will apply an ecosystem perspective to investigate microbial communities in sea ice, water, and seafloor environments; water column (planktonic) organisms; invertebrate and fish seafloor (benthic) communities; as well as conduct observations of marine mammals and seabirds.

A look at different career opportunities for geoscientists at NOAA.
2014 Edition: 21 minutes. Science-minded students and active duty service members who seek adventure and travel have opportunities to serve their country in exciting, flexible and diverse careers, commanding and operating scientific ships and aircraft as officers of the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps. One of the seven uniformed services of the United States, the Corps is an integral part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of commerce. This video takes you aboard scientific survey ships, hurricane research aircraft, and into a wide range of operating areas nationwide to introduce you to the origin, mission, role and benefits of the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps.

Dr. Jeff Key and Dr. Ed Farley of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) discuss climate change in the Arctic at the Foreign Press Center in Washington, DC on May 5, 2015. A transcript is available at http://fpc.state.gov/241352.htm.
Pioneering astronaut Kathryn Sullivan—now the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)—made history in October 1984, when she became the first American woman to walk in space. Thirty years later, Dr. Sullivan sat down at The Pew Charitable Trusts with Lynn Sherr—author of the recent New York Times best-seller Sally Ride: America's First Woman in Space—to reflect on her time in space, "environmental intelligence," and our ever-changing planet. http://www.pewtrusts.org #PewBluePlanet
This is a build I did on a Raspberry Pi to receive NOAA weather satellite signals and process them into images on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. The satellite reception is done with a NooElec SDR dongle and a QFH antenna. You can see my build of the QFH atenna in the video linked below. All of the SDR reception and image processing is done on the Raspberry Pi, and it is completely automated. Once it is set up, you don't need to touch it (other than to download your images).
