Preliminary Monthly Climatological Summaries
EV2 - Prelim Monthly Climatological Summaries
Preliminary Local Climatological Data, recorded since 1970 on Weather Burean Form 1030 and then National Weather Service Form F-6. The preliminary climate data pages consist of 3 parts: Part 1 is the site information including the station location, the month and year of the report, and the latitude and longitude of the station. Part 2 is the daily information which consists of columns of data, with one row of data for each day of the month. The day runs from 0000 to 2359 Local Standard Time (0100 to 0059 Daylight Savings Time). Part 3 of the report (noted as Page 2) is the monthly section which consists of various averages and totals for the month. The forms were submitted to the National Climatic Data Center, where quality control was performed and the data published as Local Climatological Data (LCD).

Purpose | In the late 1990s NCDC realized the need to host digital images of weather and climate records on the internet. As a result, EV2 was developed as a key system for providing access to the millions of original source data images in the NCDC archives. With its upload and index capability, EV2 also enables the continuation of NCDC's commitment to make more of its weather and climate data available online so that users across the world can view climate and weather records held in the NCDC archives. |
