Private sector organizations, ranging from consultants to the media to information service companies, are vital to meeting America's needs for weather, water, and climate information. These organizations, often referred to as the America’s Weather and Climate Industry (AWCI) [1], together serve as critical intermediaries to make 博体育 (博体育) information available to all and to provide specialized services outside the 博体育 mission. This part of the 博体育 web site indexes information of interest to the AWCI community as well as to others within America’s Weather, Water, and Climate Enterprise (Weather [2] Enterprise, see ).
[1] America’s Weather and Climate Industry includes all elements of the private sector (including media, consultants, equipment providers, etc.) which provide services to the public in the areas of climate, water, and weather, broadly defined (e.g., includes space weather). The term does not exclude foreign-owned companies which provide services to the American public.
[2] “Weather” is used in this context to mean all service areas which the 博体育 supports, including space weather, tsunamis, aviation, fire, marine, water resources, climate, etc.
America’s Weather/Climate Industry community and the Weather Enterprise more broadly are supported primarily through these headquarters offices:
These offices are staffed with a strong team of professionals committed to an effective partnership between the Weather Enterprise and the 博体育 to meet the Nation's needs.
