Foreign weather data servicing at NCDC
- National Climatic Data Center, Asheville, NC (United States)
Part of the mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to develop and maintain environmental data bases and to disseminate this information to users. The NOAA`s National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) is responsible for the archiving and dissemination of climatological information on both national and global scales. The NCDC works with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the International Council of Scientific Unions, and other world data centers to obtain and exchange information and data. The primary digital data source for foreign surface weather data is the US Air Force`s DATSAV2 surface data base. Several publications and CD-ROM products are available that contain global data. This paper describes these sources and products and provides information on how to obtain them.
