Scientific reviews are conducted every five years to evaluate the quality, relevance, and performance of research conducted and funded by OAR laboratories and programs. These reviews help to strategically position laboratories and programs in their planning of future science and are intended to ensure that OAR research remains relevant to the NOAA research mission and its priorities, and is consistent with NOAA planning, programming, and budgeting processes.

We conduct research in three major areas: weather and air quality, climate, and ocean and coastal resources.
The laboratories and their field stations are located across the country and around the world.
Scientific reviews are conducted every four years to evaluate the quality, relevance, and performance of research conducted at the OAR laboratories.
The Oceanic and Atmospheric Research International Activities Office (OAR/IA) advances NOAA’s science enterprise and priorities on ocean, atmosphere, and climate.
