GCIP/ESOP-98 Surface: Hourly Precipitation Composite

Summary

The Hourly Precipitation Composite was formed from several data sources (i.e., National Climatic Data Center hourly precipitation data, National Centers for Environmental Prediction hourly precipitation, National Soil Tilth Laboratory hourly precipitation, Park Falls Wisconsin Tower Meteorological data, W.K. Kellogg Biological Stations hourly precipitation data, and the precipitation data extracted from the ESOP-98 Hourly Surface Composite). Data from these sources were quality controlled and merged to form this precipitation composite.
