Historical Climatology Series
EV2 - Historical Climatology Series
The Historical Climatology Series (HCS) is a set of climate-related publications published by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center beginning in 1978. HCS is comprised of six series which roughly follow themes. Series 1: Long term weather records; Series 2: Inventories; Series 3: Temperature and Precipitation Departures, Drought Indices; Series 4: Normals, weighted by area; 5: Normals, weighted by population; and 6: Climate Averages and Tropical Cyclones. Many issues in series 4 through 6 have been updated to include more recent data.

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. |
