The primary science benefit of the NOMADS framework is that it enables a feedback mechanism to tie Government and university research directly back to the NOAA operational communities, numerical weather prediction quality control and diagnostics processes at NCEP, and climate model assessments and inter-comparisons from around the world.
The data is available for free download from the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory [1] and NCEP. [2] It is distributed in Netcdf and GRIB files, for which a number of tools and libraries exist. It is available for download through the NCAR CISL Research Data Archive on the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis main data page. [3]

Agency overview; Formed: 1841; 184 years ago (): Headquarters: Silver Spring, Maryland, U.S. [1]: Motto: OAR's Vision is to deliver NOAA's future. OAR's Mission is to conduct research to understand and predict the Earth's oceans, weather and climate, to advance NOAA science, service and stewardship and transition the results so they are useful to society.
On NOAA's HeatRisk tool, the scale ranges from 0 or green, meaning little or no risk from expected heat, to 4 or magenta, which indicates extreme and/or long-duration heat-related impacts.
Grib display and download from many sources is free. [1] cfGrib is a State-Of-the-Art grib parsing tool for python based on ecCodes from ECMWF. Panoply is a cross-platform application that plots geo-referenced and other arrays from netCDF, HDF, GRIB, and other datasets.
Known for its glowing swaths of yellow, orange and red, the U.S. Drought Monitor has warned farmers, residents and officials throughout the nation of impending water scarcity every week since 1999
