CDIAC
archives and disseminates climate and Greenhouse
gas (GHG) data. Data available includes: global,
regional, and national annual CO2 emissions from
fossil fuel burning, atmospheric CO2 data, global
and U.S. temperature and precipitation data, sea
level data, trace gas emissions data, and more.
CDIAC also distributes and produces reports and
newsletters. |

The
US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) is responsible for supporting climate, weather
and ocean science and research, and disseminating
this information to the public. The site contains
information about climate change, climate models,
meteorology and climate data archives for the U.S. |

gateway to data and land information images from
aerial photos and satellites. Specific products
available include land cover maps, elevation maps
and other maps and images with important geographic
information. High resolution orthoimagery of major
US cities is being added (these are part of the
USGS's "National Map"). These images
can be supplemented with layers showing elevation,
transportation
infrastructure and environmental features of interest. |

Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research
is part of the UK's Meteorological Office. The
Centre
analyzes past climate, and future emissions scenarios
to produce global and regional climate models.
The
site provides access to Hadley's data sets of observed
climate data from around the world, and information
about Hadley's climate modelling. |

The mission of the International Research Institute
for Climate Prediction (IRI) is to enhance society's
capability to understand, anticipate and manage
the impacts of seasonal climate fluctuations,
in
order to improve human welfare and the environment,
especially in developing countries. This mission
is to be conducted through strategic and applied
research, education and capacity building, and
provision
of forecast and information products, with an emphasis
on practical and verifiable utility and partnerships. |
