Applied Climate Information System (ACIS) NRCC NN

The ACIS Climate Maps are produced daily using data from the Applied Climate Information System (ACIS) at a 5-km (0.04-deg x 0.04-deg) spatial resolution from 1951-present, updated every 1-2 weeks.You can find additiona information here and the Climate Engine org dataset page. Station data in ACIS primarily come from the following networks:

  • National Weather Service Cooperative Observer Program (NWS COOP)
  • Weather-Bureau-Army-Navy/Automated Surface Observing System (WBAN/ASOS)
  • Snow Telemetry (SNOTEL)
  • Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, & Snow (CoCoRaHS) Network
  • Remote Automatic Weather Stations (RAWS)

Note: All near-real-time data are considered preliminary and subject to change.
