The United States '''National Climatic Data Center''' ('''NCDC'''), previously known as the '''National Weather Records Center (NWRC)''', in [[Asheville]], [[North Carolina]], was the world's largest active archive of weather data.

In 2015, the NCDC merged with two other federal environmental records agencies to become the [[National Centers for Environmental Information]] (NCEI).<ref name="ncei.noaa.gov">{{Cite web |date=April 2, 2020 |title=About |url=https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/about}}</ref>
