Applied Climate Research

The Northeast Regional Climate Center conducts research studies that focus on the development of new climate information products, data analysis techniques, and applications of climate data that will broaden the scope and enhance the value of the centers services to present and potential clients in the region. Studies are also undertaken that are directed toward understanding and characterizing regional climate and climate variability as it may affect the economic or societal well being of the northeastern United States.

Examples of work in progress or recently completed include: the development of methods to estimate soil frost depths, monitor water resources, predict agricultural crop development, and characterize extremes of snow pack water equivalent in the Northeast.

NRCCs Research Series reports make available the full results of climate research projects that have been performed or supported by the center. A list of research reports is available. Copies of these publications can be purchased.
