From Book Boon

A series of seven videos including "Photos from a Storm Chaser" and "Let's Prepare for a New Climate".

"We still have a lot to learn about climate change, about why it's happening and what that means. But one thing is clear: It's real, alright. These talks provide a primer on the issue of our times. "

Our planet is a wonder, a perfectly improbable incubator for life. It’s also in danger because of our indifference. Reflections on both those truths.

From Weather Channel on Youtube

Many videos on the weather.

This is a comprehensive resource site on global warming maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

The newest site from NASA showcasing their eyes on earth.

From MIT OpenCourseware Course

From Open Course Library

A series of lessons providing interactive materials to help learners visualize and understand the science of climate change.

"This is an animated interactive that displays, on a Global Viewer, NOAA datasets on hazards, ocean, and climate. User can visualize data on phenomena such as hurricanes, humpback whale migrations, carbon tracker, sea ice extent, IPCC scenarios on global warming."

Scientists and Volunteers Team Up to Solve Storms

"Help scientists recover Arctic and worldwide weather observations made by United States ships since the mid-19th century by transcribing ships' logs. These transcriptions will contribute to climate model projections and will improve our knowledge of past environmental conditions."

Explore a range of easy-to-understand climate maps in a single interface. Featuring the work of NOAA scientists, each “snapshot” is a public-friendly version of an existing data product

This interactive mapping interface displays data for each of the 344 climate divisions in the U.S. Climate Divisional Database. View maps of monthly or yearly values, ranks, or anomalies for temperature, precipitation, heating and cooling degree days, and drought indices.

Find short range and medium range forecast maps

This site will walk you through some of the basics to help you understand and explore climate data. Within the Primer pages, you'll find information on:
• instruments used to measure weather and climate
• how weather observations relate to climate products
• how climate scientists check the quality of observations
• tools you can use for exploring climate data

"The Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System, or CYGNSS, will be the first to probe the inner core of hurricanes in greater detail to better understand their rapid intensification."

"Formerly the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)…The NCEI is responsible for preserving, monitoring, assessing, and providing public access to the Nation's treasure of climate and historical weather data and information"

The National Climate Assessment offers a wealth of actionable science about the causes, effects, risks and possible responses to human-caused climate change.

Essential Principles of Climate Literacy
Climate Literacy: The Essential Principles of Climate Science presents information that is deemed important for individuals and communities to know and understand about Earth’s climate, impacts of climate change, and approaches to adaptation or mitigation
