There are many sources of climate data
on the internet. One of the most comprehensive
is the National
Climatic Data Center. NCDC collects
data from all over the world, organizes
and archives it and disseminates it
via http, ftp, DVD, and CD-ROM
In addition to the NCDC,state
climatologists, the WMO
and many research institutions provide
data through various distribution
methods.
A search of the internet will return
thousands of pages related to climate
and/or data (and not necessarily climate
data). A more efficient alternative
is to search
the GCMD. The GCMD contains descriptions
of thousands of climate data sets and
where to find them. |
