# Welcome to ClimateDB {% hint style="info" %} **ClimateDB is a powerful tool for climate research.** ClimateDB provides SQL-access to our world's climate data. We have sourced, decoded, cleaned, and structured climate data from high-quality, science-backed sources...so you don't have. Focus on modeling our world, developing new insights, and finding climate solutions...not searching for datasets and cleaning up data. {% endhint %} ## Getting Started 🏁 Check out [**Getting Started Guide**](https://docs.climatedb.io/guides/getting-started) ## Recipes 🧑‍🍳 Check out our [**Recipes**](https://docs.climatedb.io/guides/recipes) for common queries ## Request/Add Data ➕ Want to add additional data to ClimateDB.
