The Wisconsin State Climatology Office (SCO) is housed within the Nelson Institute Center for Climatic Research (CCR) and affiliated with the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Our mission is to offer climate services that help Wisconsinites use weather and climate information most effectively.
We achieve this goal by:
- Providing climate data characterizing monthly, seasonal, and annual conditions
- Revealing evidence of long-term climate variability in Wisconsin
- Developing "value-added" products and decision-support tools
- Conducting applied climate research
Two close partners of this office are:
(1) The Wisconsin Initiative on Climate
Change Impacts (WICCI), a collaboration of scientists and stakeholders who foster solutions to climate change impacts in Wisconsin.
(2) The Midwestern Regional Climate Center (MRCC), which provides climate services for the entire Midwest.
If you would like assistance finding the climate data you want, visit our Guide to Wisconsin Weather and Climate Data.
Short initial inquiries for data or staff assistance are free. More substantial efforts are covered by our Service Charge statement.
