NOAA Science Report

NOAA continues to make scientific advancements that help save lives and the planet. Launching satellites with new instruments to support weather forecasts and space weather observations, using uncrewed systems to help map the seafloor and observe the ocean, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to help monitor endangered marine species and coral reefs are some of the many ways NOAA’s science made an impact in 2025.

Learn how NOAA’s scientific research is making a difference in people’s lives and our nation’s economy in the newly released 2025 NOAA Science Report.
