        Climate Summary of the U.S. (Beginning 1930) is a historical
publication in archive at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC).
This data file contains about a 50-year climatological record of the extreme
temperatures, precipitation, wind, humidity, and freeze data for the 48
contiguous United States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.
      </abstract>
      <purpose>
        To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers
