NOAA Central Library Foreign Climate Data

The time period of coverage ranges from the 1830s through the 1970s with most data from the period prior to 1960. Each series typically includes observations for a number of meteorological and other geophysical parameters. These may include daily and monthly observations, as well as monthly and annual means, for:

Funding for the digitization of these publications was provided by the Climate Data Modernization Project, National Climatic Data Center.

Monitoring current changes in precipitation and Earth’s radiative energy balance using satellite data, reanalyses and models

Combining satellite observations with reanalyses and climate models, we examine present day variability and trends in precipitation and its intensity, linking these changes to Earth’s energy balance.

Robust findings are:
- An increase in frequency of intense rainfall with warming
- Increased precipitation in moist tropical regions
- Declining precipitation in the descending branches of the Hadley circulation

Discrepancies remain: variability and trends in precipitation vary widely across the satellite datasets and are generally of larger magnitude than in models.

All Weather is Good

This is a bibliography of weather and climate books and websites that were prepared by Ginny Dietrich, Librarian, at the National Weather Center Library with primary funding from a Carnegie-Whitney Award from the American Library Association. It is intended to be a select (not all-inclusive) list for the general public and high school students who are interested in the weather.
