Annual summaries of daily climatological observations from the National Weather Service weather station at the UGA Marine Institute on Sapelo Island, Georgia for 1958 to 2004

Daily summaries of climatological observations from the National Weather Service weather station on Sapelo Island, Georgia, were obtained from the NOAA National Climatic Data Center (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/) covering the period 1958 through 2004. Records for incomplete years with more than one month of missing observations were deleted (i.e. 1964, 1969-1971), then missing values of daily minimum, maximum and mean temperature were estimated by cubic spline interpolation to fill in data gaps of five or fewer consecutive days. Annual summary statistics were then calculated for daily minimum, maximum and mean air temperature and total precipitation.
