Explore our new educator’s guide to NOAA data.
Did you know that NOAA collects terabytes of data every day from weather stations, radar, satellites, ships, buoys, and sensors? But this information isn’t just collected for our scientists to use. Anyone can take on the role of scientist using our publicly available data. But with dozens of websites and hundreds of variables to choose from, it can be tricky for educators to know how to get their students started with real Earth science data.
