What happens when you “control the weather” by putting it in private hands? The knowledge becomes a weapon instead of a tool for good. This is the intention behind attacking NOAA.
NOAA owns, operates, or coordinates
18 weather satellites
92 twice-daily weather balloon launch sites
159 weather radar systems
9,000 weather monitoring stations
Global & regional weather forecast models
NOAA's data and modeling underpins everything weather-related in the USA.
