National and Regional Climate Vignettes

Produced by Paul Knight, Pennsylvania State Climatologist

The National and Regional Climate Vignettes project was designed to help weather broadcasters more widely inform the American public about our changing climate. Paul Knight, Pennsylvania State Climatologist, has produced a series of short video clips which highlight the rich climate information resources of NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) and the Regional Climate Centers. Clips were developed in partnership with the American Association of State Climatologists with funding from the National Climatic Data Center.
