Louisiana Office of State Climatology: Research and Data Services Overview

The Louisiana Office of State Climatology at LSU provides essential data services and applied research related to climate and weather events. Annually, it handles hundreds of data and media requests, contributing significantly to programs like the RISA-Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program (SCIPP). Recent research includes analyses of significant storms, such as the May 2010 Nashville storm and rain patterns across Tennessee. The office also maintains SURGEDAT, a comprehensive database mapping storm surge activity along the Gulf Coast, utilizing extensive historical sources.
