      <abstract>
        U.S. 15 Minute Precipitation Data is digital data set DSI-3260, 
archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). This is precipitation 
data. The primary source of data for this file is approximately 2,000 mostly 
U.S. weather stations operated or managed by the U.S. National Weather Service. 
Stations are primary, secondary, or cooperative observer sites that have the 
capability to measure precipitation at 15 minute intervals. This dataset 
contains 15-minute precipitation data (reported 4 times per hour, if precip 
occurs) for U.S. stations along with selected non-U.S. stations in U.S. 
territories and associated nations. It includes major city locations and many 
small town locations. Daily total precipitation is also included as part of the 
data record. NCDC has in archive data from most states as far back as 1970 or 
1971, and continuing to the present day. The major parameter is precipitation 
amounts at 15 minute intervals, when precipitation actually occurs.
