Statewide Average Climatic History: Indiana 1887-1982

This publication presents historical climate data in the form of time series plots and table listings for temperature, precipitation, population weighted heating and cooling degree days, and drought indices. The finest time and space resolution is one month and one state climatic division. Drought indices are presented on a divisional basis from 1931 through 1982 and on a statewide basis from the late nineteenth century through 1982. All other data are presented on a statewide basis. These data are presented so that climate anomalies can be identified in the context of inter-annual climate variability.

本公开数据集以时序图与表格列表的形式，提供温度、降水量、人口加权热度日与冷度日以及干旱指数四类历史气候数据。其最高时空分辨率可达月度尺度与单州气候分区尺度。其中干旱指数在1931年至1982年期间采用分区口径发布，19世纪末至1982年期间则采用全州口径发布；其余所有数据均采用全州口径发布。本数据集的发布旨在支持研究者在年际气候变率的背景下识别气候异常现象。
