Budget[edit]

How it is funded or where it gets it Budget from? How high is the budget per anno? -- Hartmann Schedel ^cheers 17:23, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Hartmann Schedel: You may want to have a look at the page 29 of 2013 Annual Report.--Quest for Truth (talk) 13:00, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NAME CHANGE! Inaccurate page[edit]

This Section is now incorrect. NOAA’s former three data centers (the National Climatic Data Center, the National Geophysical Data Center, and the National Oceanographic Data Center, which includes the National Coastal Data Development Center) have merged into the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). Web links for NCDC now show text stating that the center is part of NCEI, even though the web page addresses still contain "NCDC" in the web address (e.g. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/about). Merging the pages for the three OLDER names, and providing appropriate "Forwards" for those names to the new page is required, but may be beyond my editting skills for Wikipedia to assure it is done correctly. 9Questions (talk) 17:40, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would rather suggest to keep the three articles of the former data centers, and create a new article about NCEI, because of the nature of the merger, and also the already existing content in the articles. It is unnecessary to mirror the merger in the real world. Former government agencies may have their own standalone articles. --Quest for Truth (talk) 12:26, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the approach of keeping the pages for the three seperate data centers as descriptions of organizations that used to exist, and having all current tense discussion of these organizations on the NCEI page. Good solution. 9Questions (talk) 15:04, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Given the consensus not to merge, closing the proposal and removing the merge templates.
