The Climate Forecast System (CFS) models the interactions between Earth's oceans, land, and atmosphere on a global scale. The model is produced by several dozen scientists under guidance from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and generates hourly data with a ½° horizontal resolution (approximately 56 km).| National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

During 2023, the average contiguous U.S. temperature was 54.4°F, 2.4°F above the 20th-century average.| National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)
The Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST) dataset is a global monthly analysis of SST data derived from the International Comprehensive Ocean–Atmosphere Dataset (ICOADS). The dataset can be used for long-term global and basin-wide studies and incorporates smoothed local and short-term variations.| National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)
The Global Land One-kilometer Base Elevation (GLOBE) dataset is a global digital elevation model (DEM) with 30 arc-second (30") grid resolution. It was the first publicly available, high resolution DEM to cover more than two-thirds of the earth’s surface, though copyrighted or limited distribution products like NIMA predated it. GLOBE data comes from 11 sources, via 18 combinations of source/lineage processing. Scientists compiled DEMs available at griddings of 1-km or smaller, adding or m...| National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)
