NCDC’SHealth of the COOP Network • HoN Data Releases • Preliminary 1 • Preliminary 2 • Final Release Analyzing the Past to Predict the Future
NCDC’SHealth of the COOP Network • Preliminary 1 Release • -- Available 15-20 days after the end of the month • -- Based on NCDC’s TD3201 data. • -- TD3201 preliminary data are data received from sources such as ROSA, WXCODER, and IV-ROCS. • -- checks for and resolves basic internal inconsistencies by performing some very low-level quality control. Analyzing the Past to Predict the Future
NCDC’SHealth of the COOP Network • Preliminary 2 Release • -- Available approximately 60 days after the end of the month. • -- Based on NCDC’s TD3202 data. • -- TD3202 preliminary data undergo additional quality control steps over and above TD3201, in order to detect and remove precipitation outliers and key entry errors, and further resolve internal data inconsistencies. Analyzing the Past to Predict the Future
NCDC’SHealth of the COOP Network • Final Release • -- Available approximately 110 days after the end of the month • -- Based on NCDC’s TD3200 Published data • -- TD3200 data are the final data and have undergone full quality control processing at NCDC Resolutions to data • -- Discrepancies noted on this report should be reported via DATZILLA Analyzing the Past to Predict the Future
