The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the official source for space weather information, including observations, forecasts, warnings, and keeping records of it all. NOAA's main goal is to understand how space weather works and how it affects us. To do this, they need strong space weather science from researchers and effective ways to turn that research into practical tools and services. Because the needs are always changing, NOAA works closely with government agencies, universities, and businesses to improve their abilities. Future plans include more space weather monitoring, better forecasting, and improved ways to store data. They're focusing on observing the Sun and solar wind from various angles, using ground-based networks, and taking measurements both directly and remotely within Earth's upper atmosphere and magnetic field, which are areas heavily affected by space weather. NOAA is dedicated to supporting both basic and practical research that directly helps with space weather forecasting and observations, and to developing the necessary techniques, technologies, and scientific knowledge in this field.
