Please note, this dataset has been superseded by a newer version (see below). New version is only used starting from the last date this version was updated. National Weather Service (NWS) Station Information System (SIS) contains observing station metadata from November 2014 to present. These are renditions are used to update the Historical Observing Metadata Repository (HOMR) daily. Within this dataset will be embedded PDFs which will be loaded into Environmental Document Access and Display System (EDADS) Version 2 (EV2) and JSON machine readable version of the information on the PDFs which will be integrated into Historical Observing Metadata Repository (HOMR). Currently only Cooperative ObserverProgram (COOP) (www.nws.noaa.gov/os/coop) station metadata are being submitted. NWS plans to add additional types of stations to this dataset which will may require additional data elements.

National Weather Service (NWS) Station Information System (SIS) contains observing station metadata from November 2016 to present. These are renditions are used for daily updates to the Historical Observing Metadata Repository (HOMR). Within this dataset there are embedded PDFs which are loaded into Environmental Document Access and Display System (EDADS) Version 2 (EV2) in the Cooperative Station History library and the JSON formatted machine readable version of the information on the PDFs which are integrated into HOMR. The station updates contain station profile information, and changes in _location, instrumentation, obstructions, observers, and observation times. NCEI only receives these files when something is changed on the station, or every 3 years for a NWS-mandated update. Version 2 of this dataset includes new equipment hierarchy and minor changes to how observer information is structured in the JSON interface files.

This dataset is for the Western Arlington County Rainfall Measurement Project (WACRMP), which is the author’s final project for INSC 546 Environmental Informatics at the University of Tennessee—Knoxville (UT) School of Information Sciences (SIS). The dataset consists of three CSV files, a metadata file conforming to the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM), R scripts used for calculations with the data in the CSV files, and the project's final summary report and monitoring protocol. The Western Arlington County Rainfall Measurement Project (WACRMP) is designed to measure the quantity of rainfall at a designated site in western Arlington County, Virginia from September 1, 2015 to November 20, 2015 and compare these measurements to the quantity of rainfall collected by 11 other rainfall collection sites in the northern Virginia and Washington DC metropolitan area. These 11 sites are located within several miles of western Arlington County, where there is a gap in rainfall coverage by existing rainfall collection sites associated with the National Weather Service. The results will be used to determine the daily and monthly variation in rainfall between western Arlington County and other areas in Northern Virginia and the Washington DC area and potentially inform the need for a new rainfall collection site, possibly under the auspices of the National Weather Service (NWS) Co-operative Observer (COOP) network, to be established in western Arlington County to measure rainfall and other precipitation on a year-round basis.
