There are 122 WFOs nationwide of which three are inOregon. Highly trained forecasters issue warnings and forecasts for events, including severe thunderstorms, tornadoes,hurricanes, winter storms, floods, and heat waves to the general public, media, emergency management and lawenforcement officials, the aviation and marine communities, agricultural interests, businesses, and others. Information isdisseminated in many ways, including wireless emergency alerts, social media,weather.gov, and NOAA Weather Radio AllHazards. Each WFO has a Warning Coordination Meteorologist who actively conducts outreach and educationalprograms that strengthen working relationships with local partners in emergency management, government, the mediaand academic communities. Forecasters provide Impact-based Decision Support Services (IDSS), both remotely andon-site during critical emergencies such as wildfires, floods and chemical spills, and major recovery efforts. To gather datafor forecasting and other purposes, NWS WFO staff monitor, maintain and use Automated Surface Observing Stationsand Doppler Weather Radar. In addition to the WFOs, NWS operates specialized national prediction centers and regionalheadquarters throughout the U.S. for a total of 168 operational units. Over 85% of NWS’ workforce is in the field.

Updated January 2021Mt. BachelorOffice of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) - Surface Aerosol MonitoringNOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory Global Monitoring Laboratory (ESRL/GML) operates surface-based aerosolmonitoring sites in six states and one territory (Puerto Rico). ESRL/GML’s aerosol monitoring capabilities includecontinental sites in response to the finding that human activities primarily influence aerosols on regional/continental scalesrather than on global scales. Aerosols create a significant perturbation of the Earth’s radiative balance on regional scales.The measurements made include aerosol optical properties (how the particles absorb and scatter solar radiation), aerosolnumber concentration and chemical composition of the aerosol particles. The site is a partnership with the University ofWashington/Bothell.Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) - Tall Tower Carbon MeasurementsNOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory Global Monitoring Laboratory (ESRL/GML) operates trace gas monitoringsites at tall television transmitter towers, and other towers, in eight states, including California. The sites were establishedto extend ESRL/GML's monitoring network into the interior of North America in order to provide data to aid estimation ofthe net carbon balance of the continent. Variations of trace gases, especially carbon dioxide, are largest near the ground,so we utilize existing tall towers as platforms for in situ and flask sampling for atmospheric trace gases.
