Also included are the hourly precipitation amounts and abbreviated 3-hourly weather observations. This is the final quality controlled copy and generally has a one to two month time lag. The local climatological data annual file is produced from the National Weather Service (NWS) first and second order stations. These data are contained in the LCD monthly and annual publications. The monthly summaries include maximum, minimum, and average temperature, temperature departure from normal, dew point temperature, average station pressure, ceiling, visibility, weather type, wet bulb temperature, relative humidity, degree days (heating and cooling), daily precipitation, average wind speed, fastest wind speed/direction, sky cover, and occurrences of sunshine, snowfall and snow depth. The annual summary with comparative data contains monthly and annual averages of the above basic climatological data in the meteorological data for the current year section, a table of the normals, means, and extremes of these same data, and sequential table of monthly and annual values of average temperature, total precipitation, total snowfall, and total degree days. Also included is a station location table showing in detail a history of, and relative information about, changes in the locations and exposure of instruments. The NCDC also archives a Preliminary Local Climatological Data manuscript that contains similar information, but is not quality controlled. purpose: The LCD Publication provides a long-term climate dataset from land-basaed in situ observations. status: (MD_ProgressCode) completed pointOfContact: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information positionName: Customer Engagement Branch contactInfo: (CI_Contact) phone: (CI_Telephone) voice: 1-828-271-4800 facsimile: 1-828-271-4876 address: (CI_Address) deliveryPoint: 151 Patton Avenue deliveryPoint: Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 city: Asheville administrativeArea: NC postalCode: 28801-5001 country: USA electronicMailAddress: ncei.orders@noaa.gov onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov protocol: HTTPS applicationProfile: Web Browser name: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) description: NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. function: (CI_OnLineFunctionCode) information hoursOfService: 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern role: (CI_RoleCode) pointOfContact resourceMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) monthly graphicOverview: (MD_BrowseGraphic) fileName: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/img/metadata/portal/lcd.png fileDescription: Local Climatological Data GIS image fileType: PNG descriptiveKeywords: (MD_Keywords) keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature > Maximum/Minimum Temperature keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Temperature Anomalies keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Degree Days keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Precipitation Amount keyword: Earth Science > Cryosphere > Sea Ice > Snow Depth keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Surface Winds keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Radiation > Sunshine keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud Properties > Cloud Frequency keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Precipitation Anomalies keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Air Quality > Visibility keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Dew Point Temperature keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Indicators > Humidity keyword: Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud Properties > Cloud Ceiling type: (MD_KeywordTypeCode) theme thesaurusName: (CI_Citation) title: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords date: (CI_Date) date: 2018 dateType: (CI_DateTypeCode) revision edition: Version 8.6 citedResponsibleParty: (CI_ResponsibleParty) organisationName: Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contactInfo: (CI_Contact) onlineResource: (CI_OnlineResource) linkage: https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords protocol: HTTPS applicationProfile: Web Browser name: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords description: The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
