NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information
The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) is the U.S. government's archive and steward for environmental data, hosting one of the most significant collections of oceanic, atmospheric, climate, weather, and geophysical data on Earth. NCEI preserves and provides access to records including the Storm Events Database, historical hurricane and tropical cyclone tracks (IBTrACS), climate summaries, and a broad range of monitoring products. These data are an upstream source for the KnowWhereGraph project.
