largest active archive of weather data."
- Earth
System Research Laboratory - "ESRL was formed
to pursue a broad and comprehensive understanding
of the Earth system. This system comprises many
physical, chemical and biological processes that
need to be dynamically integrated to better
predict their behavior over scales from local to
global and periods of minutes to millennia."
- NOAA Central Library - Access to the library's catalog, links to other NOAA websites, NOAA history, and especially the WindandSea page which contains links to over 1,000 selected oceanic and atmospheric sites arranged by subject.

Research activities strive to achieve a whole-system
understanding of the interrelationships among earth surface
processes, ecological systems, and human activities.
Activities of the program focus on documenting, analyzing, and
modeling the character of past and present environments and
the geological, biological, hydrological, and geochemical
processes involved in environmental change so that future
environmental changes and impacts can be anticipated. The
website includes links to research activities, data set
availability, and fact sheets.
