Abstract:
Climate affects many aspects of our daily lives. Transportation, industrial
processes, tourism, environment, and agriculture are closely tied to climatic
factors. Even our recreation and general lifestyles are influenced by the
climate of our region. Because of this, one of the primary objectives of the
SCO is to provide accurate and thorough climate information to all of North
Carolina's citizens, including private industry, community economic development
authorities, state agencies, schools, community colleges, universities, and
other community organizations. The SCO provides a wealth of information which
