Fifteen minute precipitation data is available for over 2,400 stations located across the United States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the United States protectorates in the Pacific. This digital file began in May of 1971 as the TD-9927 file, and continued through December 1983 when it was then merged into DS-3260. Data are archived in a variable length element file structure. Archived data are currently sorted by Station-ID (excluding the Division Number) as the primary key and year, month, and day as secondary keys. It must be noted that NCDC has the observations from the time the station opened, but the NWS has the current data. Official surface weather observation standards can be found in the Federal Meteorological Handbook. Each logical record contains one day of one station's 15-minute data values for a specific meteorological element. The record consists of a control word and identification portion, and a data portion. The control word is used for record length determination. The identification portion identifies the observing station, year and record element code. The data portion contains the meteorological observation for the 15-minute precipitation value and flags. The data portion is repeated for as many values as occur in the given time interval. https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/15min_precip-3260

EDX is the Department of Energy (DOE)/Fossil Energy Carbon Management (FECM) virtual library and data laboratory built to find, connect, curate, use and re-use data to advance fossil energy and environmental R&D. Developed and maintained by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), EDX supports the entire life cycle of data by offering secure, private collaborative workspaces for ongoing research projects until they mature and become catalogued, curated, and published. EDX adheres to DOE Cyber policies as well as domestic and international standards for data curation and citation. This ensures data products pushed public via EDX are afforded a citation for proper accreditation and complies with journal publication requirements.

USDA-ARS Northwest Sustainable Agroecosystems Research (NSAR) and Washington State University (WSU) established a long-term meteorological and eddy covariance tower in 2017.

Mean average *offshore* wind speeds in metres per second (m/s) at 100m above sea level. The wind speed data, modelled in 2003, covers the Irish Internal Waters and the Irish Territorial Sea up to 12 nautical miles from the baseline. The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers the same data in its Wind Atlas, a digital map of Ireland's wind energy resource (http://gis.seai.ie/wind). SEAI's wind speed datasets assist wind energy planners, developers and policy makers. __Background on 2003 wind maps__ The 2003 wind-mapping project was completed by ESB International and TrueWind Solutions for SEAI (then SEI). It predicted wind characteristics, at heights of 50m, 75m and 100m, spanning onshore and offshore. (Larger heights of 125m and 150m were later covered in SEAI’s 2013 wind-mapping project.) The resulting GIS maps cover onshore in 200m grids, and offshore in 400m grids. Generally, wind maps extend to 15km offshore, or occasionally 20km. About the 2003 methodology, it iterated a MesoMap system and a faster WindMap model through reducing grid sizes. MesoMap is built on MASS (Mesoscale Atmospheric Simulation System), a numerical weather model that embodied the fundamental physics of the atmosphere. Iterations through the nested grids accounted for local land elevation, land cover and roughness. Final iterations accounted for increased wind shear and reduced near-surface wind speed at less windy sites. The 2003 Wind-mapping Project Report is available [here](https://seaiopendata.blob.core.windows.net/wind/Report_2003_Wind_Atlas.pdf).

NOAA weather and atmosphere information; many of the National Weather Service data sets are available in formats that are able to be imported directly into Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Data formats include downloadable shapefiles, web services and even KML files.

The NAEI compiles estimates of emissions to the atmosphere from UK sources such as cars, trucks, power stations and industrial plant. These emissions are estimated to help to find ways of reducing the impact of human activities on the environment and our health.

This interactive map shows Greenhouse Gas emissions totals by Local Authority from the UK National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory for 2021. Users can choose to show different sectors on the map, and select a specific Local Authority by clicking on the map, or selecting the name from the menu next to the map. Once users click a Local Authority region, any point sources within that region will be shown and they can click on the icon to view further details.

The data selector search allows users to find UK data. Please note that the greenhouse gas emissions data includes the United Kingdom, Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Bermuda, Cayman Islands and the Falkland Islands (consistent with reporting to the UNFCCC). For other pollutants, the data includes only the UK and Gibraltar (consistent with UNECE reporting). Data are available back to 1990 for greenhouse gases, 1980 for ammonia and 1970 for all other pollutants. If selecting individual gases, note that methane and nitrous oxide are presented as a mass of gas without accounting for their respective global warming potentials, and CO2 is presented as mass of carbon in CO2, so should be multiplied by 44/12 to convert to a mass of CO2.
