Resource Abstract:
- description: The global summaries data set contains a yearly (GSOY) resolution of meteorological elements (max temp, snow,
etc) from 1763 to present with updates weekly. The major parameters are: monthly mean maximum, mean minimum and mean temperatures;
monthly total precipitation and snowfall; departure from normal of the mean temperature and total precipitation; monthly heating
and cooling degree days; number of days that temperatures and precipitation are above or below certain thresholds; and extreme
daily temperature and precipitation amounts. The primary source data set source is the Global Historical Climatology Network
(GHCN)-Daily Data set. The global summaries data set also contains a monthly (GSOM) resolution of meteorological elements.
See associated resources for more information. This data is not to be confused with "GHCN-Monthly", "Annual
Summaries" or "NCDC Summary of the Month". There are unique elements that are produced globally within the
GSOM and GSOY data files. There are also bias corrected temperature data in GHCN-Monthly, which will not be available in GSOM
and GSOY. The GSOM and GSOY data set is going to replace the legacy DSI-3220 and expand to include non-U.S. (a.k.a. global)
stations. DSI-3220 only included National Weather Service (NWS) COOP Published, or "Published in CD", sites.; abstract:
