IntroductionThe Atmosphere and Climate category page provides a listing of the most relevant metadata records about the dynamic processes and phenomena of the atmosphere. Live Data and MapsNOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) GIS Services
Content Summary: NCDC, the world's largest active archive of weather and climate data, provides access to a number of its datasets (i.e. surface, precipitation, climate, NEXRAD, USCRN) through GIS services. In situ station data can be displayed with ArcIMS and qualified through its metadata. Advanced Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) services, such as Web Map Services (WMS) and Web Feature Services (WFS) are also available. Go to websiteNorth American Current Weather Map
Content Summary: The Meteorlogix North American Current Weather Map service presents current weather conditions for over 2,000 surface observation points in the United States and Canada. Weather station observations are taken routinely (usually hourly) and include the temperature, humidity, weather, wind, pressure, cloud cover, and other parameters.
Near Real Time Satellite Products for Geographic Information Systems
Content Summary: The Satellite Services Dvision of NESDIS/NOAA distributes near real-time satellite imagery and derived data products from global geostationary (GOES) and polar (AVHRR) orbiting satellites in a format compatible with commercial GIS software. Data is near real time and available to a maximum of four days through this site. Go to websiteAWIPS Map Database Catalog
Content Summary: This catalog assembles and promulgates spatial geographic information issued by the National Weather Service (NWS). These data consist of a variety of official NWS forecast zones and county designations used by be NWS. In addition other data that might be of interest and that are used by the (NWS) Advanced Weather Information Processing System (AWIPS) are available through the catalog.
National Weather Service Home Page
Content Summary: The National Weather Service home page. Provides mapping application displaying warnings and forecasts, national maps , radar, rivers, and satellite images
NOAA Observing System Architecture (NOSA) Interactive Map Service
Content Summary: The NOAA Observing System Architecture (NOSA) has developed a baseline assessment of NOAA observing systems and capabilities, which includes a geospatial database with data for more than 85 observing systems from each of NOAA's Line Offices and several global observing systems. The NOSA project is currently using the Metis enterprise architecture tool along with an open-source tool, NOAA Forge, for team collaboration and web based data collection and maintenance, and ArcIMS for geospatial data visualization and query of various Metis objects and properties collected in the database.
