U.S. Historical Climatology Network (HCN) Temperature and Precipitation, 1880-1994
|
|
The Historical Climatology Network (HCN) was established in
part to aid in the detection of regional climate change. Some
of the HCN stations are first-order weather stations, but most
are U.S. cooperative stations. To be included in the HCN, a
station must have been active in 1987 and have had at least 80
years of temperature and precipitation data. The HCN database
includes station histories, monthly temperatures, and total
monthly precipitation data.
