NOAA B-Roll


NOAA maintains a library of video footage, which is compiled and categorized by subject. It’s available for the cost of reproduction on a public domain basis — no license or clearance required. It’s requested that you credit “NOAA” or “National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,” when using the footage.

Exception:
Some compilations contain footage not owned by NOAA. All non-NOAA footage is identified and requires additional credit and/or permission before use. Credit information and/or instructions and contact information are provided.

The masters are stored at Video Transfer, Inc., a tape duplication company. You pay Video Transfer the cost of tape duplication. Copies are available in any standard or format (e.g., Beta-SP / VHS).
