The United States National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) previously known as the National Weather Records Center (NWRC) in Asheville North Carolina is the world’s largest active archive of weather data. Starting as a tabulation unit in New Orleans Louisiana in 1934 the climate records were transferred to Asheville in 1951 becoming named the National Weather Records Center (NWRC). It was later renamed the National Climatic Data Center with relocation occurring in 1993.
