NOAA Satellite Ground Station Customer Questionnaire

OMB Authorization #0648-0227 expires 31 May 2008

Languages:  Spanish   French   Portuguese  
This survey is for any organization or person operating a ground station who receives data from NOAA meteorological and environmental satellites.

NOAA, the operator of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) and Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES), maintains a voluntary list of known meteorological satellite receiving stations throughout the world. NOAA will make significant changes to its satellite systems over the next few years and this user list enables NOAA to keep its satellite user community informed.

This survey is designed to help NOAA provide the best service to you. It also assists us in planning and evaluating changes to the next generation of NOAA satellites and in providing limited information to the global meteorological community through the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

If you have not completed a similar survey for NOAA during the past 12 months or would like to update your previously submitted information, please complete this short survey. We are specifically interested in responses from all users throughout the world who receive meteorological data from NOAA satellites.

All respondents are advised that any information you submit will be treated in accordance with the U.S Freedom of Information Act.

NOAA provides a limited amount of information about the type of station you operate and satellite data you receive to the WMO. NOAA does not provide personal information about you to the WMO.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Please answer all questions that apply to you and your reception equipment.
