name: NOAA — National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
description: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the United States scientific and regulatory agency
  within the Department of Commerce charged with monitoring oceanic and atmospheric conditions, charting the seas, conducting
  deep-sea exploration, managing fishing and protection of marine mammals, and providing weather, climate, space weather,
  and ecosystem forecasts and warnings. NOAA's developer surface spans six line offices — the National Weather Service (NWS),
  the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) including the National Centers for Environmental
  Information (NCEI), the National Ocean Service (NOS) including Tides & Currents (CO-OPS), the National Marine Fisheries
  Service (NMFS / NOAA Fisheries), the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), and the Office of Marine and Aviation
  Operations (OMAO). NOAA exposes free, open APIs at api.weather.gov, services.swpc.noaa.gov, api.tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov,
  ncei.noaa.gov/access, ERDDAP servers across line offices, the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), and bulk forecast model
  output (GFS, GEFS, HRRR, GOES) through the NOAA Open Data Dissemination (NODD) program on AWS, GCP, and Azure.

  description: SWPC publishes solar wind, geomagnetic, X-ray flux, aurora forecast, radiation storm, and coronal mass ejection
    products through a static-file data service organised by format. JSON, text, and image feeds refresh on intervals from
    one minute (real-time solar wind) to daily summaries. No authentication required; products power aviation, satellite,
    power grid, GPS, and HAM radio operators. A modernization of the JSON catalog landed 2026-03-31 with old products deprecated
    2026-04-30.
