d505000
| DOI: 10.5065/YP2D-XA17
Abstract:
The hourly precipitation observations contained in this set are taken by observers at principle (primary) stations, secondary stations, and cooperative observer stations operated by the National Weather Service (NWS) and the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA). The sites are located in the contiguous U.S., Alaska, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Hawaii and other Pacific Islands.
While most stations begin observations in 1948, some have observations as far back as 1900. There are currently more than 2500 stations reporting. Periods of record vary widely among the stations.
The RDA is no longer updating this dataset. For data beyond 2011, please see the NCEI web site.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
