The ocean helps drive the weather, climate, and extreme events we experience every day. At NOAA PMEL, scientists use long-term observations and cutting-edge sensors and platforms to study how the ocean and atmosphere work together. These are the measurements and data that fuel our models, inform our science, and drive the life-saving services we provide, such as El Niño forecasts, accurate weather predictions, and tsunami warnings. These efforts help communities stay safe, protect lives, and prepare for changing conditions.
