Finding and Downloading Data
 

On the Earth System Grid, NARCCAP data is organized at the top level by model (RCM) and driver (GCM/NCEP), and then grouped in data tables. Use the data tables page to figure out which variables you're interested in, then go to the ESG NARCCAP data catalog to download data in NetCDF format.

See the Download Walkthrough for a more detailed description of the download process. You may also find the Data Overview useful.

The GIS Howto and ASCII Howto pages provide instruction on importing NARCCAP data into ArcGIS and extracting data in plain-text format, respectively.

Please see the Commercial Use page for information on how to legally use NARCCAP data in for-profit enterprises.

Please see the Acknowledgements page for information on how to properly acknowledge NARCCAP in research publications using this data.
