Canadian Monthly Climate Data (CMCD) CD-ROM and the 1961-1990 Normals (CCND) Diskette from the Meteorological Service of Canada

Entry ID: CMC_CMCD_N_CDROM

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Canadian Monthly Climate Data (CMCD) set of CD-ROM's contain monthly
averages from over 6,000 sites across Canada for periods where a complete set
of observations is available. Depending on the local observing program, there
are up to 134 different climate parameters for each site.

This set of CD-ROM's also contains the 1961-1990 Canadian Climate
