Every year, NCEI leads an international effort to develop the peer-reviewed State of the Climate Report, which has been an annual supplement to Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) since its introduction (as “Climate Assessment”) in 1991. The report summarizes the global and regional climate of the preceding calendar year and places it into historical context. Recent editions cover more than 40 Essential Climate Variables, with input from more than 350 authors from nearly 50 nations. - National Climate Assessments

The National Climate Assessment summarizes the science of climate change and the impacts of climate change on the United States, now and in the future.- Access the online version of the Third National Climate Assessment (2014)
