The Global Environment
http://www.lib.noaa.gov/edocs/stratton/chapter5.html

The Nation's interest in the seas, the land beneath, and the atmosphere above require that it attain the capability to observe, describe, understand, and predict oceanic processes on a global basis. The Nation is engaged or must be prepared to engage in operations in all of the world's oceans at increasing depths and in increasingly hostile environments. It has a vital stake in the living and nonliving resources of the global seas. Its industry, commerce, and agriculture are critically dependent on the weather controlled in large measure by global ocean conditions. The safety and well-being of its people and their property must be protected against the hazards of air and ocean.

........it all seems so simple.
