You sweep and measure so there is no compaction and just add the numbers up for the total. Why bother actually taking a measurement for a daily amount? Or you just chop the first 3" off the yardstick and start from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old days were magical. reality from the COOP at HFD, I am beginning to not like NOW and Climod Xaccis, no wonder the climate record is such a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say I would hit that month hard Twas near normal here. Probably suppression depression. Either that or our observers didn’t make fake obs?

dendrite Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hey Steve...more lost in translation COOP garbage. There must be a lot of this. I'm not sure how they digitize this, but it's pretty clear on this form that 34/18 had to be slipped into the 18th and everything else moved down. When you go on NOWdata they don't add that day in and the 31st gets M's.

dendrite Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Also...lots of missing data on NOWdata for Feb 1893, but all of the max/mins exist on the raw form. http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/orders/IPS/IPS-F48B3C02-3296-42B9-946D-CDBEDFAB463E.pdf And all I did was start at the first winter in the POR for ORH.
