Applied Climate Information System (ACIS) Climate Maps
The Climate Summary Maps are produced using data from the Applied Climate Information System (ACIS). Stations used are from the National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Network (COOP), and the Automated Weather Data Network (AWDN). All near-real-time data are considered preliminary and should be used responsibly. Products include: Precipitation, Departure from Normal Precipitation, Percent of Normal Precipitation, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Temperature, Departure from Temperature, Cooling Degree Days (CDD), Departure from Normal CDD, Heating Degree Days (HDD), and Departure from Normal HDD.

State Climate Summaries
The NOAA State Climate Summaries were produced as a response to a demand for state-level information in the context of the Third U.S. National Climate Assessment. The summaries include historical climate variations & trends, future climate conditions, and past & future conditions of sea level and coastal flooding.

USGS National Climate Change Viewer (NCCV)
**As of December 31st, 2020, Adobe no longer supports Flash Player. The current version of the USGS National Climate Change Viewer will not function without the Flash Player. The USGS is working on revising the NCCV so that it does not rely on Flash. For questions or access to the NCCV data during the revision of the NCCV, please contact USGS at GSNOROCK_REGCLIM@usgs.gov
ITEP will update the link once the USGS has updated the viewer.

Pacific Northwest and Great Basin Tribes
Tribal Climate Tool
This tool is designed to help tribes in the Pacific Northwest and Great Basin understand how the climate is expected to change in places that they care about. It provides maps, graphs, tables and descriptions of projected changes in temperatures, precipitation, vegetation composition, and total annual very high or extreme fire danger days and other variables.

Coastal Data Link
The Digital Coast: NOAA Office for Coastal Management
The Digital Coast was developed to meet the unique needs of the coastal management community. The website provides not only coastal data, but also the tools, training, and information needed to make these data truly useful. Data sets range from economic data to satellite imagery. The site contains visualization tools, predictive tools, and tools that make data easier to find and use. Training courses are available online or can be brought to the user’s location. Information is also organized by focus area or topic. Top 5 popular resources: Sea Level Rise Viewer, Data Access Viewer, Introduction to Lidar, Historical Hurricane Tracks, and Flood Exposure Mapper.
