    Cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration appear to be happening in two rounds, one of 500 and one of 800, said Craig McLean, a
    former NOAA chief scientist who said he got the information from someone
    with first-hand knowledge. That’s about 10% of NOAA’s workforce.

    The first round of cuts were probationary employees, McLean said.

    There are about 375 probationary employees in the National Weather Service
    — where day-to-day forecasting and hazard warning is done — and employees
    there so far don’t know of any of them who have been spared the layoff
    knife yet, though some might be.
