NOAA Information Dissemination Pilots Budget Code: ORF EI
Information Dissemination Pilots is NOAA's program activity to begin pilot dissemination through the Internet of some of the vast amount of environmental data and information for which NOAA is responsible. This information is distributed geographically at NOAA data centers across the country as part of the emerging National Information Infrastructure, for use by the private sector, academic researchers, educators, and the general public.
