Abstract
The UK National Meteorological Archive holds a vast collection of environmental data. Whilst much is for the UK we also hold significant published and unique datasets from around the world. This paper will highlight some of the varied data and metadata resources in the archive, the range of data rescue activities we are undertaking, how the UK Met Office National Climate Information Centre is using rescued datasets to improve long term climate monitoring for the UK, allowing identification of trends in drought and flood through improved historic rainfall datasets, and where we hope to take this exciting work next.
