 NOAA Climate Observations and Services Program  (http://cosp.noaa.gov/Services/index3.htm)
 Contact Person – Dave Goodrich

 Mission – (http://cosp.noaa.gov/Services/COSPdetails.htm)
 Official - The Climate Observations and Services Program has as its objectives the support of operational and quasi-operational climate activities in NOAA, and the development of climate services based on the national investments in climate research, modeling and observations. The Program is jointly sponsored by the National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service; the National Weather Service; and the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research.
 More Usable - Climate information only acquires value through use. Simply put, the mission of NOAA's Climate Services is to provide people with climate information useful in making decisions.
