        Climate Record Book is a publication archived
at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). This record contains daily,
monthly, seasonal, and annual averages, extremes, or occurrences. Most data
are sequential by period of record 1871-1910, 1911-1930, 1931-1950, 1951-1970,
and 1971-1990. Climatological Record Books are prepared and maintained by
National Weather Service stations and offices. These books present detailed
climatological data for an individual station, or office, for a long period
of years. Data are arranged by element by years.
The first volume, 1871-1910, was prepared for 202 stations although not all
stations had the full period of record. The second volume 1911-1930, is
available for 228 stations, the third volume, 1931-1950, is available for 247
stations, and the fourth volume, 1951-1970, is available for 324 stations.
The five volumes have been placed on 35-millimeter microfilm.
Volumes one (1871-1910), two (1911-1930), and three (1931-1950) of each
station&apos;s record book are on one reel of 35-millimeter microfilm, volume 
four (1951-1970) is on a second reel of 35-millimeter microfilm. More than one
station&apos;s record book is on the same reel of microfilm. These microfilm are
filed in the NCDC archives. These books have also been imaged by Information
Manufacturing Corporation of West Virginia (IMCWV) and are available for
viewing in Web Search Store Retrieve Display (WSSRD).
The following is a list of what each volume contains:
