Oceanography and Space and Naval Warfare in the United States

Oceanography

The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command and the
Naval Observatory are responsible for the science, technology, and engineering
operations that are essential to explore the ocean and the atmosphere and to
provide astronomical data and time for naval and related national objectives.
To that end, the naval oceanographic program studies astrometry, hydrography,
meteorology, oceanography, and precise time.
