NCDC TD3260 U.S. Cooperative 15 Minute Precipitation Data

The 15-minute precipitation observations contained in this set were obtained from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The sites are located in the contiguous U.S., Alaska, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Hawaii and other Pacific Islands. The data mainly begin in May 1971, but there is a very small amount of data in 1970. There are as many as 2300 stations, but periods of record vary widely among the stations.

本数据集收录的15分钟间隔降水量观测数据，源自美国国家气候数据中心（National Climatic Data Center, NCDC）。观测站点分布于美国本土、阿拉斯加、波多黎各、美属维尔京群岛、夏威夷及其他太平洋岛屿区域。数据集的观测时段大多始于1971年5月，仅包含极少量1970年的观测数据。本次数据集共涵盖多达2300个观测站点，但各站点的观测记录时段差异显著。
