NOAA/NCEI U.S. Climate Division Data: How to Reference Datasets and Plots

You can use the plots produced from this page in publications or presentations. We ask that you acknowledge the NOAA/ESRL Physical Sciences Laboratory in the publication. For example,

"Image provided by the NOAA/ESRL Physical Sciences Laboratory, Boulder Colorado from their web site at https://www.psd.noaa.gov/".

You should also reference the NCEI Climate Division Dataset directly.
