The Department of Defense has decided to continue sharing satellite weather data essential for hurricane forecasting, reversing a previous decision.

Initially, the Navy had announced plans to cease sharing storm data as part of a Defense Department modernization effort. However, after receiving feedback from government partners, the Navy found a way to maintain data flow until the sensor fails or the program formally ends in September 2026.

The Defense Department has been sharing satellite data with scientists and meteorologists for over 40 years, aiding in weather forecasting and monitoring.

This data is particularly valuable for hurricane forecasters, allowing them to monitor storms in real-time and issue timely warnings for public safety.

Furthermore, the satellite data is crucial for monitoring sea ice in polar regions, impacting weather patterns, international shipping, and providing insights into climate change.

The Navy’s decision to extend data sharing after facing criticism from the scientific community highlights the importance of continuous access to vital information for accurate forecasting and preparedness.

As the program’s end date approaches in September 2026, uncertainty remains about the future availability of this valuable satellite data.
