NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction

Scott K

This is actually the overarching building (organization) for the NOAA/NWS national guidance centers the Weather Prediction Center (focuses on large scale weather patterns and precipitation), Climate Prediction Center (long-term weather and short-term climate forecasting), Ocean Prediction Center (maritime weather and some physical oceanography diagnosis and forecasting), National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) offices and various smaller units, and their Environmental Modeling Center (computer simulations of the atmosphere). The combined location is an improvement over the previous scattered and tattered locations, and the open capacious space makes for a better working environment psychologically as well as enhances networking opportunities and synergy. It can be open to the public with scheduled tours but is a federal facility so access is restricted to those with ID.

All the sea routes movement, every details of atmospheric parameters layer by layer are being monitored all the time 24x7. I love the technology and love to understand the process throughout (the steps involved). Many things are confidential here, they monitor everything.

If you go there, try to get into the library and see Science on a Sphere. VERY COOL
