1 year ago Integrated Surface Database is the wrong dataset to use for Climate Explorer. Should use https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/global-historical-climatology-network-daily instead
The Integrated Surface Database (ISD) is a global database that consists of hourly and synoptic surface observations compiled from numerous sources into a single common ASCII format and common data model. ISD integrates data from more than 100 original data sources, including numerous data formats that were key-entered from paper forms during the 1950s–1970s time frame. ISD includes numerous parameters such as wind speed and direction, wind gust, temperature, dew point, cloud data, sea level pressure, altimeter setting, station pressure, present weather, visibility, precipitation amounts for various time periods, snow depth, and various other elements as observed by each station.
