Description

The National Climate Database (NCDB) seeks to be the definitive source of climate data for energy applications. The goal of the NCDB is to provide unbiased high temporal and spatial resolution climate data needed for renewable energy modeling. The NCDB seeks to maintain the inherent relationship between the various parameters that are needed to model solar, wind, hydrology and load and provide data for multiple important climate scenarios.
