- The State Climatology Office for Ohio strives to acquire, archive, process and
disseminate all climate and weather information that is of value to public
officials and organizations, corporations, research scientists, and private
citizens of the state. The fact that there is a state climatology office is
not widely known around Ohio and many of the requests are either from central
Ohio or they are from other states, from persons that know of climate services
in their home state.
Much of the Ohio climate information requested by the public comes from
published records and computerized databases such as those listed above.
Published records in print form extend through 1997 and subsequently are
available on the web at the NCDC.
One objective of the State Office of Climatology is to facilitate applied
research into problems related to the climate and weather of Ohio. The Office
of Climatology also performs scientific research on problems relating to the
climate of Ohio. This includes the building of a bibliography of publications
pertinent to the climate of Ohio, and includes an in-house collection of
reports and scientific articles dealing with the climate of Ohio.
