Under an international agreement, the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) in Asheville, N.C., is exchanging climatological information with the Research Institute of Hydrometeorological Information in Obninsk, Russia. To expedite the dissemination of these data, CDIAC, with funding provided by NCDC, is distributing one of the more useful archives acquired through this exchange: a 223-station daily data set covering from 1881 to 1989. The data set contains (1) minimum, mean, and maximum daily temperatures; (2) daily precipitation; (3) station inventory information (i.e., WMO number, name, coordinates, and elevation); (4) station history (i.e., station relocation and rain-gage replacement information); and (5) quality-assurance information (i.e., flag codes that were assigned as a result of various data checks). The data are in 18 files.
