This is a hard day,” said an employee at the National Weather Service, which is under NOAA. “It’s a bleak day and I don’t know what the solution is.” Hundreds of employees were terminated — potentially as many as 800, sources close to the agency said. Most divisions of the agency, which employs scientists and specialists in weather, oceans, biodiversity, climate and other research and planetary monitoring fields, were affected.
