Welcome to the Climate Explorer Articles section. Here, we publish comprehensive guides and deep dives into the world of meteorological science, historical climate analysis, and the growing movement of open atmospheric data.
Exploring Historical Weather Data
Understanding climate change requires access to high-quality, long-term observation data. In these articles, we explore how researchers and the public can access and interpret critical datasets from national meteorological services like Germany’s DWD, France’s Météo-France, Poland’s IMGW, and Japan’s JMA, as well as global archives such as the NOAA GHCNm.
Whether you are looking to understand the legislative impact of the European Open Data Directive on weather forecasting, or learning how to visualize localized 10-minute precipitation extremes to track flash floods, our guides provide the context needed to bridge the gap between complex climate databases and actionable environmental insights.
