NCL00221_222_223
Summary
Abstract:
The Belgium, Europe, and Northeast Atlantic data resides in 160 books,
'Bulletin Quotidien Du Temps' (Oversize Foreign Met. Data) written in French. In these summaries, definitions are: 1. Daily/monthly/seasonal/annual data - values determined for each consecutive period, e.g., monthly temperature data: Jan 1900, Feb 1900 etc. 2. Long-term data - values determined over a period of years, e.g., ...  Geographic Coverage

Quality
A lack of coverage typically but not always in the center of the continent has been a characteristic in the composites. With the strict limits on qualified data to be input to a composite, and with no older data used or any other “synthetic” creation of data, regions without coverage do result. This “black hole” region has been reduced in recent years due to improvements in satellite coverage and observations, but still remains as a limitation of the composite.
Access Constraints
The Arctic composites are available at no cost. However, we request that any use of the data acknowledged as from: Space Science and Engineering Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison (or SSEC, UW-Madison if short on space). This project is funded by the Arctic Natural Science Program, Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation Grant ARC-0713843.
