Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA):

A multi-agency research center, co-located with STAR, created to improve the use of satellite data in models for analyzing and predicting the weather, the ocean, the climate or the environment.

NOAA's CoastWatch Program:

CoastWatch processes oceanographic satellite data, and makes it available to Federal, State, & local marine scientists, coastal resource managers, and the general public.

Coral Reef Watch:

NOAA has partnered with other agencies to support sound science and management to preserve, sustain and restore valuable coral reef ecosystems.

Global Space-Based Inter-Calibration System (GSICS) Coordination Center:

The primary goal of GSICS is to improve the use of space-based global observations for weather, climate and environmental applications through operational inter-calibration of the space component of the WMO World Weather Watch (WWW) Global Observing System (GOS) and Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS).
