NCDC also maintained World Data Center for Meteorology, Asheville. The four World Centers (U.S., Russia, Japan and China) have created a free and open situation in which data and dialogue are exchanged. NCDC maintained the U.S. Climate Reference Network datasets and a vast number of other climate monitoring products. [7]
This map shows the 2023 locations of all USCRN stations. [6] The USCRN is managed and maintained by the Surface-Atmosphere Exchange, a department of the Air Resources Laboratory, a division of NOAA Research. The National Centers for Environmental Information maintains and distributes the USCRN database of observations and derived climate ...
American Samoa's climate regime is dominated by southeast trade winds. The island dependency is wet, with annual rainfall averaging near 120 inches (3,000 mm) at the airport, with amounts closer to 200 inches (5,100 mm) in other areas.
