The US Climate Reference Network
(USCRN) is a suite of
climate monitoring stations maintained and operated by NOAA's
National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). As one of the first
networks dedicated to monitor the Nation's climate, the USCRN
has over 124 stations (map below) across the US located in
representative environments with redundant sensing technology
to ensure data quality and continuity. Denser, regional networks
(RCRN) were
established in the Desert Southwest (yellow) and Alabama (red).
