National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

The National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) is a part of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that collects, manages, and shares comprehensive climate, weather, and environmental data. It maintains extensive archives of information such as temperature records, storm reports, and ocean conditions. NCEI's goal is to provide reliable, accessible data that supports decision-making in areas like disaster preparedness, climate research, and environmental management, helping society understand past conditions and plan for future environmental changes.
