http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/ENSO/enso.different.html

--A nice page with lots of enso comparison possibilities. Really emphasizes how

every event is unique; events can be looked at from a number of different media

and climatic variables.

http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/forecasts/for4.html

--Of particular interest to me as someone studying SSTs in the Indian Ocean, but

this page, along with similar ones, predicts (many months in advance) likely SST

anomalies in the Indo-Pacific region. I'm sure the LDEO website has similar (and

perhaps better) images.

http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/PublicData/getpage.pl

--I had a question about this page. It's the CDC's site to make maps using

reanalysis data (and one I've used in the past), but it's structured slightly

differently than the direct NCEP/NCAR link you have on the website. Is it the

same data?

 

http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/correlation/

--The tool at the CDC website that allows one to make correlations between

different climatic variables using the NCEP data. This is probably a very useful

page, especially if one is looking at climatic modes, teleconnections, etc.

www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov

These are two other websites I didn't see (but may have missed) on the webpage.

I've used them before to get temperature and precipitation time-series from

different sites around the world. I've never been sure though how reliable

either the NASA or CPC data is--I assume it's good...maybe others would be

interested.

 

Here are a few things of interest that I found on the CLIMVIS webpage.

PDSI plots-

Historical Rainfall data

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/ghcn/ghcn.SELECT.html

Also, I would like to navigate around from this point to look at temperature

data in S. America...where there are no stations reporting.  Aargh...I am

glad my project isn't in SA.

The Darthmouth flood site has a number of slick maps that display the causes, timing and social impacts over the globe.  The data are incomplete for all of the variables, but the concentration of fatalities in south Asia is arresting.

Not the most detailed map of the 1997 Red River flood that I've seen, but it is the first I've found that shows the inundated area on both sides of the border!

This one is just a neat image - Hurricane Isabel, close to landfall on North Caroline, September 18 , 2003
