SCAN Data
The Soil Climate Analysis Network consists of automated remote sites which collect soil moisture and soil temperature data along with precipitation, wind, and solar radiation data.  These sites are located throughout the United States and other global locations.  This data is used for the management and prediction of climatic issues affecting our natural resources.

Climate
Climate products include information and data for Wetlands Determination, Temperature and Precipitation Summaries, Frost Free Days, and Growing Seasons.  PRISM data and information, Narratives and Tables for Soil Survey Regions of the United States, and Weather Generator Technology model (GEM) information can also be found in this section.

GIS Products
The National Water and Climate Center is pleased to introduce a new suite of maps displaying variables such as snow water equivalent, snow depth, snow density, precipitation and temperature.  Maps are generated at a variety of scales for the western United States using SNOTEL, snow course, and ACIS data.
