NCDC TD3260 U.S. Cooperative 15 Minute Precipitation Data from 1971
|
|
The 15-minute precipitation observations contained in this set are obtained as months become available from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC).
The sites are located in the contiguous U.S., Alaska,
Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Hawaii and other Pacific Islands.
The digital file began in May 1971, but there is a very small amount of data in 1970.
There are currently about 2300 stations reporting. Periods of record vary widely among the stations.
