The drivers include the need to enhance NOAA's Web presence in response to customer requirements, emerging needs for improved decision-making capabilities across all sectors of society facing impacts from climate variability and change, and the importance of leveraging climate data and services to support research and public education.

Our goal is for the Portal to become the "go-to" website for NOAA's climate data, products, and services for all users."
