The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has partnered with Amazon Web Services, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and the Open Cloud Consortium, a cloud computing infrastructure nonprofit, to help deliver more of the agency’s data to the public. NOAA, which produces 20 terabytes of data per day, created the partnership to provide the public and private sector with more access to the valuable environmental, weather, and climate data it collects but cannot afford to make open. These initial industry and nonprofit partners will benefit from the increased availability of data, which can be used to build new products and services, while simultaneously making this data publicly available.
