Background

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) has supported Regional Climate Centers (RCCs) to develop and provide environmental products and services tailored and responsive to the unique needs of different U.S. geographical regions, with an emphasis on private sector interests. RCCs develop and adapt datasets and tools to the regional level and develop new regional weather and climate data applications and web-based information resources. RCCs also provide expertise in integrated regional services, including via the early warning of and response to extreme weather and climate events, the contribution to and delivery of both episodic and regular weather and climate assessments, and the utilization of regional collaboration with private, local, state and federal partners. RCCs share their expertise in data and integrated regional services with NCEI, other NOAA programs and offices such as the National Weather Service (NWS), and other Government partners to foster a coordinated approach to region-specific climate information access, analysis, and dissemination. Through their regional geophysical and socioeconomic expertise, innovative development, and sustained activities, RCCs have successfully demonstrated the value of a regional NCEI focus.

Requirements

  • To better support its users, NCEI uses a three-tiered program for environmental services that leverages the expertise and capabilities of partners at the national, regional, and state levels. At the first tier, NCEI provides national-level climate monitoring and environmental data archiving, products, and services in response to national economic and environmental priorities. At the second tier, NCEI supports a Regional Climate Services (RCS) program that makes relevant and actionable products and services accessible to a range of place-based private and public sector customers. At the third tier, NCEI primarily partners with state climate offices and the American Association of State Climatologists (AASC) to promote data access and capture user requirements
