National Weather Service Cooperative Observer

Realizing the importance of weather data to a wide range of users, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has placed an emphasis on the availability of data. While there are still costs associated with some specialized or certified data sets, users of weather information are able to obtain a wide range of data, from observations to remotely sensed imagery from online sources. The sources of data listed here represent only a subset of sources of weather and climate data. This list has been compiled from our most frequent data requests.

National Centers for Environment Information Climate Resources

The National Centers for Environmental Information, or NCEI, is the official repository of NWS data and the world’s largest archive of an extensive range of weather and climate data. All certified data must be obtained directly from NCEI. NCEI archives 99% of all NOAA data and makes it available in a number of formats. Climatological publications are available as well. The individual links are far too many to list here. Instead, we have provided links that correspond to our most frequent requests for data.
