The NOAA Operational Model Archive and Distribution System (NOMADS), is an archive of climate model data. The web site provides access to the data repository at the National Climate Data Center. The web interface allows users to create, display, and download plots, use ftp to download parameters and files, and access the data directly from a desktop computer. The interface is easy to navigate and could be used to retrieve past or current weather events to analyze in the classroom. There are also links to many climate data sets at other agencies and institutions. This resource is part of the Using Data collection. http://serc.carleton.edu/usingdata/
