NOAA Open Data Dissemination (NODD)

The NOAA Big Data Program (BDP) provides public access to NOAA's open data on commercial cloud platforms through public-private partnerships with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. These partnerships remove obstacles to the public use of NOAA data, help avoid costs and risks associated with federal data access, and leverage operational public-private partnerships with the cloud computing and information services industries.

Geospatial Information System
Geospatial technologies provide a framework for the collection, storage, analysis and dissemination of "NOAA's Environmental Intelligence." The GIS management team ensures data quality, standards compliance, documentation, access, archiving and more to ensure that NOAA maximizes the value and return on investment for NOAA geospatial data products. 
Dell is the latest addition to NOAA's weather and climate operational supercomputing system. This powerful Dell hums alongside NOAA's IBM and Cray computers at a data center in Orlando, Florida. The three systems combined in Florida and Virginia give NOAA 8.4 petaflops of total processing speed and pave the way for improved weather models and forecasts.
High Performance Computing and Communications
High Performance Computing & Communications (HPCC) improves the accuracy and timeliness NOAA's short-term weather warnings and forecasts, as well as regional and global climate and ecosystem predictions. High Performance Computing (HPC) Initiatives provide necessary computational and network resources required to advance in environmental modeling capabilities across NOAA.

Radio Frequency Management

The Radio Frequency Management Division (RFMD) is the designated office to ensure the availability and usability of radio frequency spectrum to radio users in the Department of Commerce (DOC). In addition, RFMD staff ensure that all spectrum activities are in compliance with federal and international regulations.
