Find Data

Finding the data you need for your research can be a challenge. That’s why we develop and curate research data sets and maintain user-centered, online access to them. Collections include meteorological and oceanographic observations, operational and reanalysis model outputs, and remote-sensing data sets supporting atmospheric and geosciences research.
