The Applied Climate Information System (ACIS) is a climate information management platform developed and maintained by NOAA’s Regional Climate Centers (RCCs). It is designed to handle the complex flow of information between climate data collectors and the people who use climate data, helping reduce the management burden for users who rely on climate information to make decisions. ACIS provides a flexible, fully functional system for managing climate information.

Its ongoing development focuses on incorporating additional data sources, producing new and improved data products, adopting emerging technologies, and responding to user needs. This evolving approach allows the system to adapt as information sources, technologies, and user requirements change. The RCC-ACIS website offers examples, documentation, and contact information for people seeking to learn more about the system.

It also provides terms of use. Through ACIS, the Regional Climate Centers support people who depend on climate data by helping manage the information used in decision-making
