      <abstract>
        Local Climatological Data is a historical digital data set archived at 
the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The local climatological data annual 
file is produced from National Weather Service (NWS) first and second order 
stations. These data are contained in the LCD monthly and annual publications. 
The annual publications are offered on CD-ROMs beginning with year 2000. Please 
see the other C00128 record for information on these newer annuals. The monthly 
summaries include maximum, minimum, and average temperature, temperature 
departure from normal, dew point temperature, average station pressure, 
ceiling, visibility, weather type, wet bulb temperature, relative humidity, 
degree days (heating and cooling), daily precipitation, average wind speed, 
fastest wind speed/direction, sky cover, and occurrences of sunshine, snowfall 
and snow depth. The annual summary with comparative data contains monthly and 
annual averages of the above basic climatological data in the meteorological 
data for the current year section, a table of the normals, means, and extremes 
of these same data, and sequential table of monthly and annual values of 
average temperature, total precipitation, total snowfall, and total degree 
days. Also included is a station location table showing in detail a history of, 
and relative information about, changes in the locations and exposure of 
instruments. NCDC also has in archive a Preliminary Local Climatological Data 
manuscript (C00156). That record contains similar information, but is not 
quality controlled.
