        Beginning with the data for January 1982, Cooperative data were processed through a completely revised system.  Relying heavily on new computer editing procedures, data have been subjected to internal consistency checks, compared against climatological limits, checked serially, and evaluated against surrounding station observations.The historical data were converted from existing digital files and structured into the element structure format.  These data were processed through a gross value check and not the current edit system.  It is NCDC&apos;s goal to bring these historical files up to the same level of quality as those from 1982 onward as resources become available.  Thus, benign neglect, state of the art processing (circa 1952), and limited money/people resources have contributed toward less than optimum conditions in maintaining integrity of the digital files before 1982.
