This is a bit of a stretch - you need to include NSSL/CIMMS and also CIRA here. Other labs/CIs also do some weather research.

If the government had a clue, they would all be consolidated to improve weather and climate prediction and save money at the same time. Look at the number of redundant climate offices opening; look at Congress putting pieces of weather activity in every state of the union and you see that Congress is not the solution. It is the problem. Consolidate all government weather/water/ climate and environmental activities in one place. It's the only real answer.WxAnalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00781520300340782526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-71957264355270440942014-04-11T07:00:23.190-07:002014-04-11T07:00:23.190-07:00For me a its a victory that our congress even pays...For me a its a victory that our congress even pays any attention to the details of NOAA.

NOAA desparately needs reorganization, but that would require courageous leadership. And you don't get to the top of the NOAA by being bold.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06203664641770519559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-2424777598393406672014-04-10T12:02:42.498-07:002014-04-10T12:02:42.498-07:00All national weather forecasting under one roof. ...All national weather forecasting under one roof.
