[Update 3/17: The Administration's budget blueprint is out and it looks like weather forecasting satellites (like GOES and the polar satellites) will still be used in weather forecasting, but it remains unclear what other science programs that use those satellites' data will still be funded. The DSCOVR satellite—a joint project with NASA—will see its funding cut, along with extensive reductions to NASA's earth science budget. The general NOAA budget is still facing steep cuts, including the elimination of the Sea Grant program, which funds research across the country. The blueprint is an initial proposal, and further details will be released at a later date. The budget proposal must still pass Congress before it comes into effect.
