AOML Laboratory Review

Research Reviews

Laboratories within NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research are reviewed every five years to evaluate the quality, relevance, and performance of research conducted at the lab. They evaluate the management and impact of the lab in the framework of its strategic plan and other priorities and guidance from Congress, NOAA and OAR. Laboratory Reviews strategically position the lab for planning future science and deliver to stakeholders the benefits of NOAA research.

2019 AOML Laboratory Review

AOML’s most recent Laboratory Review took place November 19-21, 2019, in Miami, Florida.

Review Agenda

In-person participation is by invitation only. Presentations will be broadcast via GoToWebinar.
