The data values are ingested with a unique 18-bit format due to satellite transmission limitations (documentation will be archived along with data); code is also included to read the bit format and parse out values for a stream. As of 2017, there are 26 possible stream format versions over the history of the USCRN network; format versions are dependent on hardware/software upgrades to the USCRN network and may increase over time. The data stream includes observations taken by USCRN stations for temperature, precipitation, etc., but users are encouraged to use downstream, processed versions of the data, due to the complexity of reading the satellite-encoded format (see documentation for more information). As of 2017, data are ingested via various mechanisms, including: an LRGS receiver connected to the NOAA and EDDN satellite networks, a domestic communications satellite (DOMSAT) receiver located at NCEI, and parsed data from NOAAPort. Numerous data files from different sources (usually with a distinct filenaming convention based on source) are collected throughout the month and are separated into subdirectories based on the date of ingest into the CRN database. Files from all sources and all days for the month are packaged together into a monthly archive file. USCRN's primary goal is to provide future long-term homogeneous observations of temperature and precipitation that can be coupled to long-term historical observations for the detection and attribution of present and future climate change. Each station location is carefully selected to capture the representative climate regions of the nation. Data from the USCRN will be used in operational climate monitoring activities and for placing current climate anomalies into an historical perspective. The USCRN Raw data provides a Near-Real-Time data flow that can be used to produce high-quality datasets on a faster time scale. onGoing NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact continual https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/uscrn-site-image.png Station Picture PNG Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature > Air Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature > Maximum/Minimum Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Precipitation Amount Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Indicators > Humidity Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Surface Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Radiation > Incoming Solar Radiation Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Radiation > Solar Radiation Earth Science > Land Surface > Surface Thermal Properties > Skin Temperature Earth Science > Land Surface > Soils > Soil Moisture/Water Content Earth Science > Land Surface > Soils > Soil Texture Earth Science > Land Surface > Surface Thermal Properties > Land Surface Temperature theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

The level 0 data received from the USCRN stations are transmitted continuously via satellite. The data values are ingested with a unique 18-bit format due to satellite transmission limitations (see documentation for more information). As of 2016, there are 26 possible stream format versions over the history of the USCRN network; format versions are dependent on hardware/software upgrades to the USCRN network and may increase over time. The USCRN Program at NCEI is the primary source of the raw data, performs QA/QC functions, and prepares the data for archive and distribution. See documentation for more information. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) processor In September of 2017, the process for archiving the raw transmitted USCRN data was changed to better accommodate long-term use and stewardship by the USCRN Program. In 2015, the LRGS system changed and data in 6117_01 was no longer complete. The 2017 Update addresses this issue and ensures the completeness of the historical period of record (separate from the original archive, to ensure provenance). This update reinforces the USCRN archive data quality.
