On-Demand Insights from Climate and Earth Observations Data
ClimateEngine.org empowers users of all technical proficiencies to harness the power of cloud computing to analyze decades of Earth Observations data. Collectively, the app, API, and reports are a powerful set of tools that bring together climate and remote sensing data to allow users to explore various environmental questions.
Started through the White House Climate Data Initiative and a Google Faculty Research award, ClimateEngine.org now plays an essential role in Earth science research and government agency decision-support and is relied upon by thousands of users each month.
Decades of data are available through the App and API
With a suite of datasets consisting of satellite observations like Landsat, climate reanalyses like ERA5, and decision-ready drought and rangeland vegetation datasets, Climate Engine tools put petabytes of cutting-edge data at your fingertips. And because Climate Engine tools are backed by Google Earth Engine cloud computing, the possibilities for your analysis are nearly unlimited.
Trusted by Agency, Tribal, and Non-Profit Partners
Since 2014, the ClimateEngine.org team has developed important partnerships with NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the US Geological Survey (USGS), Google, the US Forest Service, NASA, the Navajo Nation, and more. These partnerships have been instrumental in bringing Earth Observations data into management operations.
Backed by Earth Scientists and Data Scientists
ClimateEngine.org is a collaborative initiative between researchers and data scientists at the Desert Research Institute and the University of California Merced and is supported by Google. The team combines expertise in hydrology, climatology, ecology, quantitative methods, software engineering, and data science.
“Climate Engine is a powerful cloud solution that has enabled NOAA to rapidly create and disseminate critical climate and drought information in ways previously not possible. As an innovative cloud-first tool, the Climate Engine has tremendous potential to complement NOAA's cloud efforts, such as NOAA’s Big Data Project, moving forward.”
