Data Sharing & Tools

In recent years, the NCCS has expanded its data sharing and tools capabilities for users. Our service portfolio now includes data collections spanning the realms of atmosphere, water, and land; powerful data tools enabling discovery, download, visualization, and analytics; and the means for scientists to share their research and datasets with colleagues, the greater scientific community, and the public.

Data Collections

Available data collections include atmosphere, ocean, land, and flood data, both current and historical, as well as operational Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) weather analysis data and forecasts that are updated four times daily. Scientists can also share their curated datasets with colleagues and the greater scientific community.
