These are archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). U.S. Daily Surface Data is sometimes called cooperative data or COOP, named after the cooperative observers that recorded the data. In any one year there are about 8,000 stations operating. Most cooperative observers are state universities, state or federal agencies, or private individuals whose stations are managed and maintained by the National Weather Service. Each cooperative observer station may record as little as one parameter (precipitation), or several parameters. U.S. Daily Surface Data is also called Summary of the Day data. The original data was manuscript records, the earliest of which are from the 1800s. Records for approximately 23,000 stations have been archived from the beginning of record through the present. Official surface weather observation standards can be found in the Federal Meteorological Handbook.

In general, the quality of the data has improved as more sophisticated computer edits have been implemented, especially since 1998.Data prior to 1982 were converted from existing files, then placed in the current format after undergoing only a gross value check.In November 1993 the entire historical period of record was processed, using Red Ezell's "Vahlidd" software.Another round of quality control in November 2000 on the DSI-3200 data set, using Charles Phillips' "rehab" software increased that data set's quality still more. This quality control removed or corrected badly formatted records, deleted duplicate records, resolved problems with records with duplicate ID PORTIONS, did data value range checks and standardized the formats for accumulation and "days with weather".DSI-3210 data received a new round of quality control in February 2006, using a variation of Charles Phillips' "rehab" software customized for DSI-3210. The quality control was similar to what was done for DSI-3200.Ingest quality control since 1998 is good. The data are subjected to internal consistency checks, compared against climatological limits, checked serially, and evaluated against surrounding stations. Quality control "flags" are appended to each element value to show how they fared during the edit procedures and to indicate what, if any, action was taken. The "days with weather" data type, found in these data sets, is fair to poor, depending on the station. It cannot be used with any measure of confidence. Principal climatological stations operating 24 hours a day are expected to be the most reliable source of "days with weather". Reporting of this element by cooperative observers is not a requirement and criteria for reporting are not definitive. Most stations do not record this information. Unknown Completeness information not available. Selected Summary of the Day data from related file DSI-3210 for National Weather Service "first order" or principal climatological stations and "second order" stations have been merged into this file. Therefore, users must be aware that if an element in DSI-3210 was flagged as suspicious or in error and an estimated value is included, the estimated value is entered into DSI-3200 as an "original" value. If a user needs the true original value, it must be retrieved from DSI-3210. It must also be noted that observations from DSI-3210 contains surface observational data from the Automated Surface Observing System (DSI-3211). Users must be aware that DSI-3210 contains flagged data that have been quality controlled by personnel at the NCDC. DSI-3211 contains only automated quality controlled data.
