Notes:
1) Starting in FY 2006, funding to DOC/NOAA’s Laboratories was included as part of DOC/NOAA CCSP activities. This is a result of the evolution of
NOAA’s role in CCSP.
2) Prior to 2008, DOC/NOAA reported its climate research activities under its Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) line office and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) line office. For FY 2008 and beyond, NOAA began reporting activities for the NOAA climate strategic goal, as defined in the NOAA Strategic Plan (2005), to ensure consistent reporting and to provide the most accurate picture of its climate funding to date. The climate goal includes both research and operations funding under the following offices: OAR, NMFS, the National Weather Service, and the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS).
3) Past reports have erroneously presented all of DOC/NOAA’s CCSP funding in the Operations, Research, and Facilities (ORF) account. Climate-related activities have been and continue to be funded in both the ORF account and the Procurement, Acquisition, and Construction (PAC) account.
4) Beginning in FY 2008, DOC includes funding for new measurement and standards-related activities that DOC/NIST undertakes to support CCSP.
5) In addition to reporting funding for NOAA’s climate strategic goal for FY 2009, DOC is also reporting $74M for climate satellite sensors funded under the NESDIS PAC account.
6) The FY 2007 amount of $236 million reflects an estimate of climate expenditures. The recently calculated actual expenditures in FY 2007 were $265 million.
Mapping of Budget Request to Appropriations Legislation. In Appropriations Committee reports, funding
for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration CCSP activities is specified in the Laboratories and
Cooperative Institutes, Competitive Research Programs, Climate Operations, and Climate Data and Information lines of the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research budget; in the Climate Regimes and Ecosystem Productivity line of the National Marine Fisheries Service budget; the Data Centers and Information Services line of the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) budget; and the Local Warnings and Forecasts and Central Forecast Guidance lines of the National Weather Service (NWS) budget within NOAA’s Operations, Research, and Facilities account. In addition, a portion of NOAA’s climate funding is found within the Procurement, Acquisition, and Construction account for NESDIS and NWS. Funding for National Institute of Standards and Technology CCSP activities is specified in the Scientific and Technical Research and Services account. |
