How to Obtain Official Climate Data

The National Climatic Data Center and the Northeast Regional Climate Center fill various requests for climate data. These centers are responsible for monitoring and maintaining a large number of data sets for the National Weather Service and other organizations. Weather Service Forecasts Offices are responsible for archiving weather conditions for the past 30 days and then transmitting that information to the climate centers where the official archives are maintained.

The Northeast Regional Climate Center (NRCC):

Established in 1983, the Northeast Regional Climate Center (NRCC) is located in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University.  It serves the 12-state region that includes: Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia. Major funding is provided by a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Centers staff works cooperatively with the National Climatic Data Center, state climatologists and other interested scientists in the Northeast to acquire and disseminate accurate, up-to-date climate data and information.
