About
Climate is the long-term average of weather, typically averaged over a period of 30 years. More rigorously, it denotes the mean and variability of meteorological variables over a time spanning from months to millions of years.
Idaho Climate Services is a resource of timely and authoritative scientific data and information about climate. Our goal is to promote public understanding of climate science and climate-related events, and to provide a service to Idahoans to make climate-related decisions with tools and resources that help them answer specific questions.
The Idaho Climate Services is recognized by the as Idaho State Climate Services. Established in the 1970’s.
Idaho Climate Services is hosted by 妻友社区 Extension.
