The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a scientific agency within the United States Department of Commerce focused on the conditions of the oceans and the atmosphere. NOAA warns of dangerous weather, charts seas and skies, guides the use and protection of ocean and coastal resources and conducts research to improve understanding and stewardship of the environment. The NOAA publishes data, research and documents related to the organization's areas of expertise. Some of these publications include Climatological Data. Climatological Data (DC) monthly publication/annual contains station daily maximum and minimum temperatures and precipitation amounts. Some stations provide daily snowfall, snow depth, evaporation, and soil temperature data. Each issue also contains monthly summaries for heating and cooling degree days (65 degrees F base). The July issue also contains monthly heating degree days and snow data for the preceding July through June. The annual issue contains monthly and annual averages of temperature, precipitation amounts, temperature extremes, freeze data, soil temperatures, evaporation, and a recap of monthly cooling degree days. This is one of those documents.
This document presents detailed climatological data for Alaska from November 1991, compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a scientific agency focused on oceanic and atmospheric conditions, responsible for weather warnings, charting, resource management, and environmental research. As part of its extensive publications, NOAA releases monthly 'Climatological Data' reports. These reports typically contain daily maximum and minimum temperatures, precipitation amounts, and may include data on snowfall, snow depth, evaporation, and soil temperature for various stations. Additionally, they provide monthly summaries for heating and cooling degree days, with specific recaps in the July and annual issues.
This document serves as a specific data record from NOAA's climatological reporting series. The 'Climatological Data' publications are recognized for their role in providing historical weather information at a station level. The data presented is typically used by researchers, meteorologists, and planners for historical analysis, trend identification, and environmental studies. Its value lies in its precise, factual reporting of meteorological conditions for a defined period and region.
