Building on existing work, NOAA will use ‘proving grounds’ to collaboratively develop and test tailored products and services for the private sector, designed to improve delivery of climate data and services. Through this ~$85 million investment, NOAA will improve risk modeling at climate timescales to support decision making, and partner with companies on the development of risk models for use in underserved communities. This investment will also evaluate the use of NOAA’s service deliverables, to ensure it meets the needs of users and improve existing and new deliverables, making sure information is useful, usable, and being utilized to make decisions.
