Abstract
There has been good progress in making climate data available. Selected data management strategies and trends as well as the changing cost of archival storage since 1960, are given. Some data organizations emphasize preparing data and making it available, others spend most time on the interactive display of data. Our activity at NCAR emphasizes the former. There is still a problem in obtaining climate datasets for all of Europe for long periods of time.
