A Climate Services Clearinghouse: A Comprehensive Guide to Climate Services and Products on the Web
Genevieve E. Maricle, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO; and R. A. Pielke
Over the past several years, the climate has increasingly become part of our collective conscious. Climate-sensitive businesses and communities consequently desire the means to plan, adjust, and adapt to climatic variability. To that end, several agencies within the public and private sectors, as well as academia, have developed operational and experimental climate services and products. The result is a plethora of products and services from varied sources, but without a central clearinghouse for the entire United States. This Climate Services Clearinghouse seeks to be that central access point. It consolidates climate services and products from NOAA, non-NOAA Government Agencies, Academia, and the Private Sector. Products can be accessed by temporal scale, spatial scale, product type, climate feature, extreme event, end user, or source agency. The site will be frequently updated and evaluated.
