High Plains Climate Network Data

Projects:

Summary

This data set contains hourly resolution surface meteorological data from the High Plains Climate Network (HPCN), provided by the High Plains Regional Climate Center's (HPRCC) Automated Weather Data Network (AWDN). The HPCN includes data from a number of state agricultural networks in the High Plains region (the number and location of stations has varied through the years). The data are provided in monthly tar files when ordered.
