The Office of the New Jersey State Climatologist serves as the State focal point for activities
pertaining to the climate of New Jersey. The responsibilities of the Office are to collect
and archive climate data, maintain an active research program pertaining to New Jersey
climate and, through various outreach programs, provide climate education and information
to the citizens of New Jersey.
The Rutgers New Jersey Weather Network (NJWxNet, wx = weather) serves as a one-stop
resource for New Jersey weather and climate data. The NJWxNet is a unique collection
of hourly environmental data from weather stations in and around New Jersey. The NJWxNet is
operated by the Office of the NJ State Climatologist (ONJSC) at Rutgers University.
Here you will find various unique sources of data regarding Northern Hemisphere snow
cover dating back to 1966. In 1966, NOAA began to map the snow and ice areas in the Northern
Hemisphere on a weekly basis. That effort continues today, and remains the only such
hemispheric product.
