Applied Climate Information System (ACIS)
The Applied Climate Information System (ACIS) is a climate data management system developed and maintained by the NOAA Regional Climate Centers (RCCs). It is intended to manage the complex flow of information from climate data collectors to the end users of climate information. ACIS brings historical climate information and near real-time data together, pulling from multiple datasets across the Regional Climate Centers (RCCs), to assess historical climate trends, enhance daily operational decisions, and assist with climate-dependent activities.

TRB Research In Progress (RiP) Database
The Transportation Research Board's (TRB) Research In Progress (RiP) Database and data-entry system allows users in the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT), state DOTs, University Transportation Centers (UTCs) and other USDOT-funded universities to add, modify, and delete information on their current research projects. To see a list of climate change (both mitigation and adaptation) related research, enter "climate change" in the Keyword field. Project descriptions provide contact information for research team members.

U.S. Drought Monitor
The U.S. Drought Monitor, established in 1999, is a weekly map of drought conditions that is produced jointly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The U.S. Drought Monitor website is hosted and maintained by the NDMC.

Tribal Climate Change Project
The Tribal Climate Change Project (TCCP) is a collaborative project between the University of Oregon Environmental Studies Program and the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station. TCCP aims to understand the needs, lessons learned, and opportunities American Indians and Alaska Natives have in planning for the physical effects of climate change. This information will be used to inform resource management decision-making in the context of climate change. This project supports the USDA Forest Service 2010 Coordinated Approach to Tribal Climate Change Research strategy.

WEPPCAT: Water Erosion Prediction Project Climate Assessment Tool
WEPPCAT is a web-based erosion simulation tool that allows for the assessment of changes in erosion rates as a consequence of user-defined climate change scenarios. This tool is based on the USDA-ARS Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model. WEPP has a number of customized interfaces developed for common applications such as roads, managed forests, forests following wildfire, and rangelands.
