| Centre aiming to educate the public on the problem of climate change by bringing together scientific, economic and technological expertise. Includes reports on environmnetal and economic issues, details of projects, and press releases. | |
| Data and images on snow and ice, and their importance to the Earth's system, such as the Global Annual Freezing and Thawing Indices. Includes topics such as glaciers, hydrology, ice cores, icebergs, ocean, remote sensing data, satellite imagery and sea ice, and a searchable data catalogue which can also be browsed by title and subject. | ||
| A glossary of terms relating to weather and climate, including absolute temperature, extratropical cyclone, nimbostratus, thermodynamic chart and visible radiation. | ||
| Online classroom linking teachers and students to specific resources on weather, climate change, oceans and coasts, satellites and space. | ||
| A partnership between the US and France to monitor global ocean circulation, discover the tie between the oceans and atmosphere, and improve global climate predictions. | ||
| IPCC was established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme to assess the available scientific, technical, and socio economic information in the field of climate change. | ||
| Descriptions of research projects, initiatives, and news highlights in the field of global climate change. | ||
| Aims to provide the foundation for increasing the skill of predictions of seasonal to interannual climate fluctuations (which can bring excessively wet and dry periods) and long term climate change. | ||
| Details the activities of Canada's Meteorological Service. Offers current condition reports, local forecasts, weather facts, and information on environmental concerns such as air quality, climate change, and the ozone layer. Also outlines MSC projects, and provides details of publications. | ||
| Designed to assist UK atmospheric researchers to locate, access and interpret atmospheric data, the centre provides permanent archives for data sets from Natural Environment Research Council funded projects. The searchable archive includes data from the Met. Office and information on ozone experiments, stratosphere, mesosphere and troposphere measurements, sea temperatures and forecasting. | ||
| Details of research carried out at NASA / Goddard on global climate and solar radiation. | ||
| NASA program that aims to capture the spirit of exploration and focus it back on the Earth. NASA and its partners are striving to discover patterns in climate that will allow prediction of environmental events such as floods and severe winters. | ||
| Index to geology and environmental resources, covering the topics of Environmental Geology and Human Existence, Getting Around in Geology, Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Weathering and Soils, Landslides and Mass Wasting, Subsidence and Collapse, Water On Land, Water Under the Ground, Oceans and Coasts, Extreme Climates, Energy, Mineral Resources, and Waste Management. | ||
| NCDC claims to be the world's largest active archive of weather data, producing numerous climate publications and responding to data requests from all over the world. | ||
| WMO is a specialist organisation of the United Nations, based in Geneva. It coordinates global scientific activity in areas of weather prediction, air pollution research, climate change, ozone layer depletion studies and tropical storm forecasting, to allow prompt and accurate weather information for public, private and commercial use, including international airline and shipping industries. Major WMO progammes include World Weather Watch, Applications of Meteorology, World Climate Research, Global Climate Observing System, Atmospheric Research and Environment, Hydrology and Water Resources, Education and Training. Information is in English, French and Spanish. | ||
| An international organisation supported by 18 European member states. Aims to aid development of numerical methods for medium range weather forecasting, and to prepare regular weather reports. | ||
| Online bibliography of peer reviewed and grey literature relating to climate change and its impact on flora and fauna species and critical ecosystems. Resources are keyword searchable, and updated every two months | ||
| Set of documents dealing with the causes and consequences of desertification, action programs, scientific and technical cooperation, and measures to support the study and prevention of desertification. | ||
| Official UN information on global warming and emissions data, with a bibliography of technical reports, books, journal articles, conference reports and country information. | ||
| Information about the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission which aims to monitor and study tropical rainfall and the associated release of energy that helps to power the global atmospheric circulation, shaping both weather and climate around the globe. Includes images and data. | ||
| An extensive source of information about satellite and in situ Earth science data, with broad coverage of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, oceans, solid earth, and biosphere. | ||
| Monitors regional and global changes on Earth and explores the causes and effects of climactic and environmental change through the use of satellite data. Includes sections on climate and biosphere monitoring, earth science, tropical cyclone and hurricane research, and an Observation Deck featuring a data chart showing all environmental measurements displayed by the Earth Observatory. Each section contains an illustrated summary of related research with links to further information and colour satellite images. | ||
| Technical paper which provides an overview and analysis of technologies and measures to limit and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to enhance GHG sinks under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC). | ||
| A textual and graphical overview of weather patterns throughout 1998. Regional and seasonal variations in the US are discussed, together with global temperatures, precipitation and natural disasters. Additional resources include archived 1998 monthly and special reports. | ||
