About EV2

The Climate Database Modernization Program (CDMP) was a program to image and key paper and microfilm records and to make them available on the web to members of the climate and environmental research community. Spanning 12 years, from 2000 to 2011, the program produced almost 56 million digital images from all types of physical media and enabled data keying projects to integrate new data into digital datasets.

The vast majority of the images scanned under CDMP are accessible through the NCDC-developed Environmental Document Access and Display System, Version 2 (EV2) application. Access to EV2 is available to United States government employees and their contractors, educational institutions doing environmental research, and other researchers associated with NOAA projects. If you would like an account in EV2, please contact ev2.ncdc@noaa.gov. Commercial customers should call NCDC customer service at 828-271-4800 or e-mail ncdc.orders@noaa.gov for their data needs.

Access to historical climatological observations scanned under CDMP is available to the public through the NCDC Images and Publications System (IPS). The IPS system is a web interface for records stored within the EV2 system.
