Climate Record Books Keyed Data

Climate Record Books (CRB) Data were keyed as part of the Climate Database Modernization Program (CDMP). These original keyed files as well as documentation relating to the format and keying process is available within the 3298_01 archive. The Northeast Regional Climate Center (NRCC) reformatted and performed quality control checks on the data, ensuring that the data could be used in high quality datasets and applications. Data and documentation for this data is available within the 3298_02 archive. The dataset consists of 171 stations that are located throughout the US. Variables include: maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average temperature, precipitation, and snowfall. Temporal resolution is daily, but observation times are not available for this dataset. However, data coverage varies by station. The records for individual stations range in length from 9 months to 121 years. Parts of the records may be duplicated in other, higher-priority ACIS data sources.
