Links to Data and on-line programs to work with data

• The Interactive Climate Analysis and Data Plotting Pages which links to NOAA designed pages allow users to display, analyze and obtain climate data. Some are aimed at the general public and some are more technical. this page aslo includes Educational Products and Tools links.

• CPC Temperature and Precipitation Forecasts

  • Monthly and 3-monthly temperature and precipitation outlook ()
  • Seasonal forecasts for temperature and precipitation (CPC)
  
  
• Sea Surface Temperatures/El Niņo Forecasts
  • El Niņo Advisory (CPC)
  • Forecast Forum (CPC) - technical discussion of forecasts from different centers
  • Forecast Tropical Pacific Sea Surface Temperature,
    looking forward 3 Seasons, 0-5 months, and 6-11 months.NCEP/EMC/Climate Modeling Branch)
    
• Other
  • Great Lakes Hydrology Forecasts

• The NOAA Server, which provides a searchable interface to NOAA's data holdings. Users can download and plot data.
• GCIP data in particular can be found at
  • GCIP Data Management Services System (DMSS) In Situ Data Source Module and
  • the GEWEX/GCIP site
  • a nice explanation of river forecasting at NWS
  • for Midwest climate data, the NOAA Midwest Climate Center a cooperative program of the National Climatic Data Center and the Illinois State Water Survey in Champaign, IL, provides current and historical data and services
  
  
• NASA Earth System Science Data ; in particular, look at NASA SeaWIFS satellite data: this page gives access into the background, status and documentation for NASA's global ocean color monitoring mission called SeaWiFS; and the Global Change master Directory (which also includes a lot of NOAA data)
• Data from the NOAA El Nino Observing System in the Pacific, both atmospheric and ocean data
  
• EPIC systemprovides data archival, retreival, display and analysis procedures for oceanographic time series and hydrographic data. Users select data by specifying data type, latitude, longitude and time range or other identifying characteristics. There is a complete suite of routines for graphical display and data analysis.
  
• >R/V Kaimimoana real time site: this is a favorite of mine, because it is direct from a research ship and details what they're doing every week. This week there is a photo of the ship leaving Pearl Harbor.
  
• Soil Moisture maintained by Jim Washburne; includes some teacher info
  
• The NOAA National Geophysical Data Center's Science for Society tour has interesting links on damages from nautral hazards and other phenomena.
  
• US Fish and Wildlife Service Data
  
• For climate change data, see the USGCRP Global Change Data and Information System (GCDIS).
