NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information principalInvestigator Embler, Scott NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information collaborator Iddings, Bryan NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information collaborator The U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) was designed to monitor the climate of the United States using research quality instrumentation located within representative pristine environments. This heat index product is designed to provide heat index variables calculated hourly for each USCRN station location. Beyond the hourly average air temperature, relative humidity, and global solar radiation observed at the station, an hourly 10 meter wind speed average is estimated from station observations 1.5 meters above ground, and surface atmospheric pressure is extracted from either ERA5 reanalysis historically, or NCEP RUC in near real time. The file contains three heat exposure variables beyond air temperature: heat index (HI), apparent temperature (AT) and wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT). Air temperature and the three heat exposure indices have been provided in both metric (Degrees Celsius) and standard customary units (Degrees Fahrenheit) for convenience of the user. File names are structured at CRNHE0101-STATIONNAME.csv. HE stands for Heat Indices. The first two digits of the trailing integer indicate major version and the second two digits minor version of the product. This dataset provides a variety of measures of heat exposure of humans based on air temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and windspeed. These values can be associated with human health statistics, air conditioning loads, and other factors explaining physiological, sociological, and economic impacts of heat on people. 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 monthly 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 > Atmospheric Temperature Indices > Heat Index 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.
