The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is a division of the NOAA/National Weather Service and serves as the official source for tracking and predicting tropical weather systems in the Atlantic and eastern North Pacific. While not directly manufacturing hardware, the NHC relies heavily on satellite data, reconnaissance aircraft, and various observational tools, including those provided by NASA, to forecast the track, intensity, and potential impacts of hurricanes. The NHC issues forecasts, warnings, and analyses of hazardous tropical weather to protect life and property. Their products and services are used by local weather forecast offices, emergency managers, the media, and the general public.
