Meteorology Library

WELCOME to the Meteorology Library at the National Weather Service in Nashville.

This library is a cooperative effort between the National Weather Service, various government departments and agencies, as well as a number of universities and colleges from across the United States.

It is a topical library, which means that internet links are organized by specific topic (via webpages) rather than by general area of interest (via website homepages). It is also set up in syllabus form to facilitate a structured learning environment. To begin your information search or meteorology tutorial you should go to the Table of Contents.

Our vision for this library is to provide quick access to a wide variety of sources, and help make it easy for you to find an answer to your meteorological question(s) and/or to learn the basics of meteorology.

Where possible, we have elicited the support of the providers of information in our library to make a good faith effort to keep us informed of changes to their internet webpage addresses. In doing so, we hope to keep our web links as reliable as possible. Of course, this does not mean that some links will not be temporarily unavailable from time to time, and you should keep this in mind when using these materials. If you run into this problem, just look at it as if someone has already checked the book out of the library, and come back and give it another try later. On the other hand, if you find a link which is down for more than 3 or 4 days, please e-mail us.

We are pleased to announce that our meteorological library has received the SciLinks Seal of Approval, from the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). A team of teachers, associated with NSTA, reviewed this library and found the materials on our educational webpages to have accurate content and effective pedagogy. The certificate, explaining the significance of this selection, can be found by clicking on the icon below. To view portions of the NSTA'a letter to our office click here.
