The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) has developed a searchable database on the Web from Storm Data files. NCDC started the project to link the WSR-88D Doppler Radar Image Archive and the Storm Data Archive. A Common Gateway Interface script was created to search the database from parameters specified in a Hyper Text Markup Language search page. Currently, the library consists of data from 1/1/96 to the present. NCDC is exporting Storm Data from 1991-95. NCDC plans to add earlier data including the Tornado, Hail and Thunderstorm/Convective Wind Archives from the Storms Prediction Center.
