Daily Minimum and Maximum Temperature and Precipitation for Long Term Stations from the U.S. COOP Data
d510006
Abstract:
Daily minimum and maximum temperature and precipitation have been extracted for long term stations from the U.S. COOP station network. The data has been extracted for the period 1950 through 2004 for all stations which have a low percentage of missing data (generally less than 5%, analyzed independently by variable for each station). Data is available for stations from 46 states.

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.
