#CLIMOD2 From the CLIMOD website,

The CLimate Information for Management and Operational Decisions (CLIMOD) system provides clients with web access to a vast amount of data and information in the NRCC [Northeast Regional Climate Center] database. Some examples of products available through the CLIMOD system include: daily temperature and precipitation observations, normals and records for several thousand sites around the country and monthly data summaries. Additional derived products, such as growing, heating and cooling degree day accumulations, that are useful for planning and managing climate-sensitive operations, are also available through the CLIMOD system.

CLIMOD2 is a new free to use climate data portal, available online: http://climodtest.nrcc.cornell.edu/. With stations positioned acrossthe United States, it should be possible to acquire local climate data relevant to PhenoCam(s) of interest.
