Abstract:

U.S. Weather Bureau Technical Paper Series are historical meteorological papers archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The U.S. Weather Bureau technical paper series contains 58 numbered papers. The completed series is listed below, with the year of publication for each. Many are out of print. The publications annotated with an asterisk are in the NCDC Technical Library. Some may be available from the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO), Washington, DC 20402. GPO can also be contacted through their web site, http://www.gpo.gov/. *No. 1. 10-Year Normals Of Pressure Tendencies And Hourly Station Pressures For The United States. 1943.
