On-line Encyclopedias

• Encyclopedia of Atmospheric Sciences

 This  encyclopedia covers all major aspects of atmospheric science and related subjects such as oceanography and hydrology. As well as the traditional topics of atmospheric dynamics, cloud physics, and weather forecasting, more recently established fields such as atmospheric chemistry and global climate change are fully covered.

Climate Data

• United States Data:

• National Climate Data Center's (NCDC) Annual Climatological Summary Monthly summaries of temperature and precipitation for stations (cities) across the United States.
• U.S. Climate Normals
  Climate normals (including temperature and precipitation means from 1971-2000).  This is a good resource for data on extreme events, degree days, snow, precipitation, and various other climate variables.
