Daily maximum and minimum temperature and precipitation amount are
available for 497 U.S. and Canadian stations, which were extracted
from other DSS datasets because of their long periods of record. The
general period of record is 1874 to 1979, but it varies by
individual station. For the U.S. stations, no period is shorter than
29 years, with most being much longer. There is more variation in
the periods of the Canadian stations. For specific station
information, you should view the inventories
[http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds522.0/inventories/]. Most users will
probably want to use the ASCII record format, but a packed-binary
version of the data is also available.
For more information about the data itself, please see the source
datasets. The Texas stations were extracted from ds510.2
[http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds510.2/]. The other U.S. stations
were selected from ds510.4 [http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds510.4/],
ds520.0 [http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds520.0/], and ds521.0
[http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds521.0/]. The Canadian stations are
from ds516.0 [http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds516.0/].
