Climate.gov


The NOAA Climate.gov web portal provides science and services to help build a climate-smart nation. We offer a public-friendly point of entry to NOAA’s and our partners’ diverse portfolios of climate data and information. Our goals are to promote public understanding of climate science to make our data products and services easy to access and use for decision-making, to provide climate-related support to the private sector and the Nation’s economy, and to provide quick access to data and information for individuals with very specific questions.

Each of the tabs on the main page is designed to meet the needs and interests of four groups:

  1. ClimateWatch Magazine is a popular-style magazine for the science-interested public covering topics in climate science, adaptation, and mitigation. Learn more…
  2. Data & Services is a gateway for scientists, resource managers, businesses and other interested members of the public who want to find and use climate data. Learn more…
  3. Understanding Climate is designed for policy leaders, decision makers, and resource managers who want authoritative, peer-reviewed climate science information to help them understand and manage climate-related risks and opportunities.  Learn more…
