About NHclimateAudit.org
This project was started using digital
photo copies of the of reports submitted to the weather bureaus from the
Jackson Company of Nashua, New Hampshire. The files were in
Adobe Acrobat© Document format and started
in the 1886. When we got to the month of August, 1897 the files were
corrupted. From that
date on nearly all the files would not load.
We sent an email to NOAA
about the problem and received this response, "It appears there are
about 5 years worth of data that have been loaded into the system in
.tiff format which is causing the problem. We are requesting they be
converted to pdf format however this will take a little time".
It was
then decided to find another source for the data. That is when we found
the NCDC Surface Inventories at:
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/surfaceinventories.html#inventories,
this is the data used for our analysis work.
The one problem with using the NOAA data
is that there is a three month delay between the initial and final data.
This delays our annual analysis by about 4 months.
