      <abstract>
        Climatography of the United States No. 82 is a historical
publication archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). This
publication contains summary data collected at about 145 U.S. Weather Bureau
(now National Weather Service) stations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico that
recorded 24-hour surface weather observations daily. Data from most stations
is from the period 1951-1960; other stations have data from either 1959-1960
or 1949-1954. The major parameters are temperature, relative humidity, wind
direction and speed, ceiling height, visibility, and sky cover. Annual and
monthly values for number of occurrences or percent of occurrences are based
on hourly observations.
      </abstract>
      <purpose>
        To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers
and the public.
