From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NOAA Observing System Architecture (NOSA) is a collection of over 100 of NOAA 's environmental datasets.
NOSA was established to develop an observational architecture that helps NOAA:
design observing systems that support NOAA's mission and provide maximum value,
avoid duplication of existing systems, and
operate efficiently and in a cost-effective manner. NOSA includes:
NOAA's observing systems (and others) required to support NOAA's mission,
The relationship among observing systems including how they contribute to support NOAA's mission and associated observing requirements, and
the guidelines governing the design of a target architecture and the evolution toward this target architecture
