        Climatological Data National Summary is a historical
publication archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). This
publication issued monthly and annually, contains selected climatological
data for the United States and its protectorates. It
began with the January 1950 issue, but prior to that, much of the data
appeared in the Monthly Weather Review, the U.S. Meteorological Yearbook
(last published for the period 1943-49), and the Report of the Chief of the
Weather Bureau (last published for 1934). The monthly and annual issues
present narrative summaries of general weather conditions, detailed weather
measurements that include but are not limited to: max/min temperature, dew
point, relative humidity, winds, precipitation, river stage height, degree 
days, rawinsonde
data, pibal data, solar radiation data, damage estimates, climate maps and
special reports on tropical cyclones.

      <purpose>
        To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the 
public.
