| hasSummary |
-
This world monthly surface station climatology has data for over
4700 different stations (2600 in more recent years). Data for some
stations goes as far back as the mid-1700s. See decadal coverage
[http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds570.0/#!docs/decadal.html] for more
detail. Most of the data was obtained directly from the National
Climatic Data Center (NCDC), Asheville, North Carolina. However,
much of the data prior to 1951 came from John Wolbach of Harvard
College Observatory, who contracted to have this data key entered at
NCDC. The first six months of 1961 were key entered at NCAR. Sharon
Nicholson, Florida State University, provided African precipitation
data to extend the records of over 250 stations. Dennis Shea,
NCAR/CGD, has been a valuable source for data obtained directly from
various countries.
