Mapper
Level of Effort:
This newly released, authoritative, and spatially continuous National Precipitation Frequency Atlas of the United States was developed by the NOAA National Weather Service Office of Water Prediction. As with previous Precipitation Frequency Atlases, NOAA Atlas 15 will provide spatially independent estimates of expected precipitation depth (or intensity) for a specified storm duration (e.g., 6 hours), at a particular location of interest (e.g., Bridgeport, Connecticut).
As the U.S. experiences more intense rainfall, frequent flooding, and prolonged droughts, this tool can help ensure practitioners are equipped with the precipitation information they need to make the country’s water resources and infrastructure more resilient to changes in rainfall patterns. This dataset and mapper can help address user needs regarding water quality, flood risk, and infrastructure design.

5th National Climate Assessment Atlas
To help Americans anticipate how changing climate conditions might affect their homes and businesses, the United States Global Change Research Program conducts a comprehensive review of scientific information on climate trends and impacts in our country every four years. The 5th National Climate Assessment — often referred to as NCA5 — was published in 2023.
This Interactive Atlas provides access to data compiled for NCA5. Browse the collection for your own investigations, or access the data for custom analysis and mapping.
