摘要
NOAA's 19812010 US Climate Normals include a comprehensive range of descriptive statistics based on hourly observations for a wide variety of societal applications. These hourly normals are available for 262 locations distributed in a relatively uniform fashion across the US and its territories. Three types of statistics are included for each station, such as 30-year averages, frequencies of occurrence, and percentiles for each hour and day of the year. The source data for the 1981'2010 Hourly Normals is the Integrated Surface Dataset-Lite (ISD-Lite). A set of 262 stations has been selected from ISD-Lite based on their completeness and membership in a list of 'first order stations'. ISD undergoes a suite of 54 operational quality assurance reviews on a daily basis and ISD-Lite values have been tested to screen out values meeting the following conditions prior to the computation of normals, to supplement these operational checks.
