Accurately predicting the forecast for the U.S. Navy is an essential part of keeping the fleet safe and effective as they execute maritime missions around the world.

The Marine Meteorology Division has nearly 110 employees, the majority of which are federally employed scientists who study the Earth’s atmosphere and its interactions with the environment to keep the U.S. Navy, as well as our nation, armed with the ability to accurately predict the weather.

Superintendent of NRL’s Marine Meteorology Division, Dr. Jim Hansen said the mission to provide the most advanced weather science for the U.S. Navy is an innovative, collaborative process.
