Daily Minimum and Maximum Temperature and Precipitation for Long Term Stations from the U.S. COOP Data

Entry ID: NCAR_DS510.6

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Daily minimum and maximum temperature and precipitation have been extracted for long term stations from the U.S. COOP station network. The data has been extracted for the period 1950 thru 2004 for all stations which have a low percentage of missing data (generally less than 5%, analyzed independently by variable for each station). Data is available for stations from 46 states.
