| Content Description | ||
| Content Summary: The
Climate Prediction Center (CPC) daily (1200 - 1200 UTC) U.S. minimum
surface air temperature analysis contains ~5000 stations per day
from the River Forecast Centers,
including ~1500 stations from the Hydrologic Automated Data System,
and ~several hundred stations from the Climate Anomaly Data Base.
Analysis Scheme: Modified Cressman (1959) Scheme (Glahn et al. 1985; Charba et al. 1992). Minimum stations for analysis: 350 for temperature analysis. If the number of stations is less than the minimum, then the analysis is not performed for that day. |
