Abstract
The Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN) provides quality-controlled precipitation, temperature, snowfall, and snow depth time series data. GHCN-Daily contains records from over 100,000 stations in 180 countries and territories. Both the record length and period of record vary by station and cover intervals ranging from less than a year to more than 175 years.
