• National Aeronautics and Space Administration
  (NASA) collects remote-sensed data to support climate research and to describe and measure the energy and enviromental phenomena that may contribute to climate variation and change.

• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
  (NOAA) gathers worldwide environmental data about the ocean, earth, air, space, and sun and their interactions to describe and predict the state of the physical environment. NOAA also maintains a national environmental data base, in which the agency's data are combined with selected environmental information collected by other agencies in support of their respective missions.

• United States Geological Survey
  (USGS), through its Water Resources Division, collects and maintains data on the quality, availability and use of the Nation's water, including streamflow data for hydropower plants, groundwater subsistence, erosion, backwater, flooding, water contamination, and sedimentation.
