-
"This data set contains precipitation data originally recorded in
log books at 65 coastal and island meteorological stations, and
later digitized at the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute
(AARI), St. Petersburg, Russia, under the direction of Vladimir
Radionov. Records from most stations begin in 1940. Instrumentation
was generally a rain gauge with Nipher shield until the early 1950s
(for most stations), when the Tretyakov precipitation gauge replaced
earlier instrumentation. Data have not been adjusted for gauge type
or wind bias. Data from 1967 and later are corrected for wetting
loss (this correction was made by observers as they recorded the
station data).", quoted summary from NSIDC documentation.
The data files and associated documentation were downloaded from
NSIDC to this DSS dataset in January 2007. See the dataset
documentation [http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds488.0/#!docs] for more
