National Climatic Data Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The four World Centers (US, Russia, Japan and China) have created a free and open atmosphere in which data and dialogue are exchanged. NCDC archives 99 percent of all NOAA data, including over 320 million paper records; 2.5 million microfiche records; over 1.2 petabytes of digital data residing in a mass storage environment. The Center provides historical perspectives on climate which are vital to studies on global climate change, the greenhouse effect, and other environmental issues. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/NCDC   (375 words)

NOAA Home Page - Climate National Climatic Data Center - NCDC is the world's largest active archive of weather data. On each Thursday, the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, together with the United States Department of Agriculture, the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Nebraska, and the NOAA National Climatic Data Center issues a weekly drought assessment called the United States Drought Monitor. The total monthly series, by state, are available for the period 1931/32 through 1991/92: Historical Climatology Series 5-1, "State Regional and National Monthly and Seasonal Heating Degree Days Weighted by Population (1990 Census), (July 1931 - June 1992)."

Micrographic Data Rescue at the National Climatic Data Center The historical data on 16mm and 35mm film was not migrated to a newer media at that time since it was still considered to be a stable media. The data will be saved upon 3590 cartridge media which is expected to become a NOAA standard as opposed to optical which has no industry standards for the hardware or media. Based upon information and test results collected by NCDC over the last year from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Media Lab, and the Image Permanence Institute, NCDC's vast acetate film collection is in an advanced state of deterioration with less than three years of remaining useful life. www.eis.noaa.gov /esdim/nes256e-2.html   (325 words)

Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) - NDP070 The NDP consists of the document and 57 files: 48 daily data files (containing records from stations in each of the 48 contiguous states), station inventory and station history files, a text file describing all data files, and 6 files containing computer software routines for reading the data.

NOAA Magazine Online (Story 12) NCDC also collects global data for and maintains the World Data Center for Meteorology, Asheville, which is one component of a global network of discipline subcenters that facilitate international exchange of scientific data. NCDC's mission is to archive and manage the nation's resource of global climatological in-situ and remotely sensed data and information to promote global environmental stewardship; to describe, monitor and assess the climate; and to support efforts to predict changes in the Earth's environment. NCDC's data and information are available to everyone including the general public (who might be planning a retirement move), legal professionals (documenting a weather event), large engineering firms (designing the latest in safe, energy efficient structures), industry, agriculture, and government policy makers. www.magazine.noaa.gov /stories/mag12.htm   (995 words)

Nat' Academies Press, 1993 Review of the World Center-A for Meteorology and the National Climatic Data Center (1994) The center is to be commended for trying to keep abreast of the recent rapidly developing changes in the national climate service sector. In the latter case, the NCDC should utilize its experience and expertise to work with the data's physical custodians to ensure that the requirements of NARA are met, that adequate metadata are available, and that the data are accessible to personnel in the User Services section at the NCDC. A hallmark of the NCDC discs is the software that is included to help manipulate and visualize the data; the development and customization of this software for each disc help explain delays in producing the disc series, and the desire to make the series as user-friendly as possible is commended. books.nap.edu /books/NX002810/html/15.html   (2766 words)

Testimony by Thomas R. Karl, Co-chair, NOAA National Climatic Data Center and other witnesses before hearing of the US Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee on climate variability and change, July 18, 2000 This synthesis obviously needed to build on the work that had begun to emerge from the subsequent regional and national studies, but also to draw on the existing scientific literature and analyses done with the most up-to-date ecological and hydrological models and data that could be obtained. Climate change and the resulting rise in sea level are likely to exacerbate threats to buildings, roads, power lines, and other infrastructure in climatically sensitive places, such as low-lying coastlines and the permafrost regions of Alaska. In addition to these kind of "bottom-up" efforts, it was decided that it was also necessary to create a national-level synthesis of what is known about the potential for climate impacts for the US as a whole, addressing the issues identified in the regional workshops and national studies. www.ogc.doc.gov /ogc/legreg/testimon/106s/karl0718.htm   (2815 words)
