The reports were first added to Cumulus 2 after someone asked, in enhancement request 44, if Cumulus software could copy what a rival weather software package ('''Weatherlink''') did and output some climatological reports.
Steve Loft did some investigation, and found that Ken True had implemented the Weatherlink reports in his Saratoga suite, so Steve Loft took that as his starting point (see [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=5689 Steve's post on the Cumulus Support Forum] for more details).
These Saratoga reports were based on climatological reports issued by The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service (the reason why Steve Loft decided to use NOAA in the naming of the reports).
