Summary
Abstract: Dataset is derived from 3 sources: NCDC daily co-op stations
(1948-...), CPC dataset (River Forecast Centers data + 1st order
stations - 1992-...), and daily accumulations from hourly
precipitation dataset (1948-...). There are about 13000 station
reports each day for 1992-..., and about 8000 reports before that
yielding about 3x the reports of any existing historic ... View entire text
