... Some agency programs that contribute to global change research, but were initiated for and continue to serve other primary purposes, are not included in the focused U.S. Global Change Research Program budget (e.g., the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Upper Atmospheric Research Program and Topex/Poseidon mission, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's meterological satellites, and several programs from the Department of Defense)

... NOAA's mission-directed activities include research on physical and biogeochemical processes in the climate system, in situ measurements, climate modeling, and diagnostic techniques for detecting global changes. The FY 1990 budget proposes $20.0 million for DOC/ NOAA, roughly doubling the FY 1989 level.
