NOAAPORT Broadcast
The NOAAport Broadcast Network delivers real-time weather, hydrological, and climate data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to various users, including emergency services and broadcasters. This service relies on satellite multicast to disseminate timely alerts, forecasts, and critical updates, aiding in rapid decision-making and public safety operations..
NOAAPORT is a satellite-based distribution system operated by NOAA, designed to provide continuous multicast dissemination of environmental data. It incorporates a variety of data streams, such as meteorological observations, satellite imagery, model outputs, and warnings, targeting both governmental and commercial users requiring timely information. The system typically uses multicast protocols over UDP to efficiently transmit data to multiple recipients simultaneously.
Port 2210 serves as a communication point within this network infrastructure, often handling connections related to data request, synchronization, and control signals. While UDP is the predominant protocol due to its efficiency for multicasting, TCP may also be employed for certain control or management functions to ensure reliable transmission where necessary.
The architecture behind this broadcast network enables seamless integration with end-user applications that process meteorological data, display weather content, or trigger automated alerts. Users implement specialized receivers and software to decode and visualize the data streams delivered via port 2210.
