Across the NWS there is a growing, mission-critical need to coordinate and integrate the SBE science into our messaging, services and products.  The establishment of an SBE Science Coordination Group will help ensure that NWS (WFOs, Regions, Centers, and HQ) retains awareness of SBE science advances and is able to leverage and integrate those SBE science advances within their respective domains.

To contact SBE Science Coordination Group, please email us at NWS.SBES@noaa.gov
