NOAA. Discussions have been held with members of NOAA (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) to ensure that CHARMe is developed in alignment with other initiatives that are seeking to provide Commentary on climate data. This conscious effort to harmonise with these global activities is a key element of CHARMe and NOAA is acknowledged as a key played in this regard. A representative from NOAA will be invited to join the Advisory Committee. In addition, a member of staff supported by CHARMe will spend a period of time at NOAA to ensure that technical and strategic solutions and goals are aligned. NOAA is a lead agency in the USA concerned with the quality of climate data, and ties its effort closely to the needs and aspirations of other agencies in the USA, such as NASA. Therefore the CHARMe-NOAA collaboration will have far-reaching influence on both sides of the Atlantic and globally.
