This site features visual resources and supporting data that illustrate the relationship between weather and climate. Resources are divided by topic including climate resources, weather forecasting, warnings and data, and evidence for global warming. Visualizations and data sets include GIS-based animated maps, static maps, simple animations, and links to real-time stream gauge data. This site provides an array of visual resources that help demonstrate the difference between weather and climate and may be incorporated into lectures, labs, or other activities.

On the Cutting Edge - Professional Development for Geoscience Faculty The Hurricane - Climate Change Connection: Bringing Cutting Edge Research into the Classroom Topical Resources Cutting Edge > Hurricanes-Climate Change Connection > Visualizations > Weather and Climate Weather and Climate Resources contributed by Mark McCaffrey at CIRES-NOAA Paleoclimatology (more info) GIS-based animated maps, simple animations, photos, and static maps linked to data bases illustrate the relationship and differences between weather and climate. This section provides a vast array of information detailing different aspects of weather and climate, as well as issues relating to global warming. Click here to browse the complete set of Visualization Collections. Climate Resources Interactive GIS Climate Maps (more info) Web-based GIS maps providing an overview of global temperatures, precipitation, ecosystems, population and other layers. U.S. Climatographs (more info) Web-based GIS map linking to climatographs of mean maximum and minimum temperature and precipitation for selected U.S. cites. Climate Diagnostics Center Plots (more info) Through static map interface, the Climate Diagnostic Center provides access to plots of current and historical United States temperature, precipitation and PDSI drought maps. The interface allows users to plot the raw data and view map visualizations of data. Global Climate Animations (more info) Flash animations and animated .gif files that show the climatology of the seasonal cycle for the time period 1959-1997 for variables including the global energy balance, global water balance, atmospheric circulation and winds, and global temperature. CDC U.S. Climatographs (more info) Static map-based interface providing access to the Climate Diagnostic Center's climatographs of temperature and precipitation for selected U.S. cities based on 30 year normals.. NRCS Climate Pages (more info) Static maps and links to data and graphs for U.S. states, counties and basins from USDA National Resources Conservation Service.. U.S.G.S. Realtime Streamflow (more info) Static maps of U.S. states providing near-real time access to stream gauge station data and associated graphs. Weather Forecasting, Warnings and Data Interactive Weather Information Network (more info) A graphically intensive array of National Weather Service visualizations and data, including local weather, national weather warnings, global weather and satellite images.
