📄 Summary
The NOAA Science Advisory Board (SAB) is the only Federal Advisory Committee with responsibility to advise the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere on long- and short-range strategies for research, education and the application of science to resource management and environmental assessment and prediction. The Science Advisory Board is called upon to provide advice to NOAA on a wide variety of topics important to the agency. Because of the breadth of subject matter that the group addresses, they frequently consult with additional experts on specific topics. Certain topics are deemed to be of long-term interest for NOAA and the standing working groups (WGs) were established under the SAB to consult on a regular basis. The SAB WGs consist of experts with whom the SAB consults on a regular basis to address NOAA scientific priorities.
