Climate Science has many facets. This guide focuses on available scientific and technical resources related to global climate change and its effects, meteorology, and atmospheric science. A vast number of government agencies and organizations around the world collect and provide data, mapping, and other information, often freely available. The links on this guide represent only a selection of these.
Choosing an index database for climate and atmospheric science depends on what aspects of the topic you're looking for. Google Scholar and Web of Science are the most general in nature.
