Supplemental_Information: The data in this point layer came from the National Climatic Data Center inventories of cooperative weather stations and automated surface observation stations used in the United States. The data were downloaded from: ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/inventories/COOP-ACT.TXT, ASOSLST.XLS.

The location information available from the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) was of a higher precision (latitude and longitude reported in degrees, minutes, and seconds rather than degrees and minutes) than any other source. Many errors in climatic division assignments were found. No independent checks were conducted to determine errors in reported identification numbers for stations (for example, COOP numbers and WBAN numbers, etc.; see attribute descriptions for station information). Logical_Consistency_Report: The resultant shapefile generated from the NCDC tabular data was checked to ensure that the same number of records was in the spatial data set as was in the tabular data set. Completeness_Report: From the NCDC, "The information contained in Web Climate Services Version 2.1 is a "best effort" attempt to provide access to NCDC metadata. The contents of this system cannot be considered as official records. To obtain official records or to verify content found in this system please contact NCDC." Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: As reported by NCDC, "In recent years, the availability of Geopositioner (GPS) technology and the demand for more precise location information has increased the precision of these measurements to Whole Seconds." The postional accuracy of the GPS units used was not provided; the horizontal accuracy is an estimate. The accuracy was calculated to 0.0001 degrees, which is approximately 10 meters on the ground. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: As reported by NCDC,"From NWS guidelines ground elevation is generally taken from temperature sensor location at airport sites, and from the rain gage location at other observing sites." No additional information was provided on vertical positional accuracy of these data.

Process_Step: Process_Description: CGDA personnel imported COOP-ACT.TXT (inventory of active cooperative (COOP) weather stations in the United States) and ASOSLST.XLS (automated surface observation stations used by the National Weather Service in the United States) into separate worksheets in Microsoft Excel. Both worksheets were refined to contain only information about Indiana Weather stations. Both worksheets were merged and any duplicate records were deleted. The latitude and longitude coordinates were converted from degrees-minutes-seconds to decimal degrees by spreadsheet calculations. All formulae were converted to values. Only latitude and longitude coordinates in decimal degrees were retained; other coordinate fields were deleted. The spreadsheet was saved, and the geographic (latitude and longitude) decimal degree XY coordinates were used to import the point locations into ESRI ArcMap with a geographic coordinate system (NAD83). The point event theme was projected to UTM NAD83 Zone 16.

The CLIMATE field was checked against the values contained in Climatic_Divisions_NCDC_IN.shp, and several errors were identified. The errors were corrected after verifying the station name, county name, and coordinates placed the station in the plotted location. Only fields from the joined tables that were desired were retained in the final output. The point layer was then exported to retain the attribute tabular modifications.

A station in this network, as designated by a single Cooperative Station Identifier, can be one site or a series of sites whose locations fall within 2 miles horizontal or 100 feet vertical difference.
