NOAA's Weather and Climate Toolkit

Download or launch this platform-independent tool to help you sift through and visualize gigabytes of weather and climate data. The Weather and Climate Toolkit offers a first step to getting the multiple time steps in weather and climate data files into a workable format. The toolkit can also help you get data you already have into various formats.

The toolkit homepage also offers access to data, image galleries, user guides, and tutorials via links in the blue box on the left-hand side of the page. Some popular datasets, such as the U.S. Drought Monitor, are hardwired into the tool. For larger datasets, such as NEXRAD or satellite data, it may be easiest to order data through the “Quick Links” on the left-hand side of the home page.
