| The National
Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration works with other agencies
around the world to collect climate data that is used for weather
forecasting and long-term climate studies, as organized under a
division called the National Weather Service. Through the Climate
Prediction Center, the NWS gathers and provides a wide variety of
climate data to users in both the public and private sector.
Among the data published for public consumption is a family of Precipitation Time Series for numerous geographic locations around the globe. Rainfall is recorded in daily increments and provided for individual locations in 30, 90 and 365-day time periods, along with total accumulation over the time period and historical normal accumulation. |
