Notes
(blank) Not reported.
+ Occurred on one or more previous dates during the month. The date in the Date field is the last day of occurrence. Used through December 1983 only.
A Accumulated amount. This value is a total that may include data from a previous month or months or year (for annual value).
B Adjusted Total. Monthly value totals based on proportional available data across the entire month.
E
An estimated monthly or annual total.
X Monthly means or totals based on incomplete time series. 1 to 9 days are missing. Annual means or totals include one or more months which had 1 to 9 days that were missing.
M Used to indicate data element missing.
T Trace of precipitation, snowfall, or snowdepth. The precipitation data value will = zero.
Elem-> Element Types are included to provide cross-reference for users of the NCDC CDO System.
Station Station is identified by: CoopID/WBAN, Station Name, State.
S Precipitation amount is continuing to be accumulated. Total will be included in a subsequent monthly or yearly value. Example: Days 1-20 had 1.35 inches of precipitation, then a period of accumulation began. The element TPCP would then be 00135S and the total accumulated amount value appears in a subsequent monthly value. If TPCP = "M" there was no precipitation measured during the month. Flag is set to "S" and the total accumulated amount appears in a subsequent monthly value.
