Global Historical Climatology Network Website. Climate researchers, students, and others will benefit from this web site's organized approach to gain access to and analyze climate data. The site was developed by Geert 
Jan van Oldenborgh, a climate and oceanography researcher at the Royal Dutch Meteorological Institute, to take full advantage of data available from the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) and produced jointly by
the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Climatic Data Center. Data are added monthly and include surface station observations of temperature, precipitation, and pressure. Access is free to the public, but users must register.
