SUBJECT: Removal of Cooperative Observer Program Identifiers
From the Hourly02 and Daily01
Products Effective
March 22, 2011
Effective Tuesday, March 22, 2011, at
approximately 1500 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), The National Climatic Data
Center will remove the Cooperative Observer Program (Coop) identifiers in the
hourly02 (CRNH02) and daily01 (CRND01) products produced for stations in the U.S.
Climate Reference Network (USCRN) and U.S. Historical Climatology
Network-Modernization (USHCN-M). This change will affect the format of both
products by shifting the start and end positions of all following data columns.
For both products the second data column is
the Coop identifier and is 6 characters wide, starting at character 7 and
ending at character 12. The removal of this column will shift all following columns to the left by 7 characters, including a
column separator character. The content
and width of those following columns will not be changed.
The Weather Bureau Army Navy (WBAN)
identifiers will still be present in both products and can be used as station
identifiers. The use of the Coop identifier is being discontinued in these
networks; the Coop field may read 999999 before the format change is in effect.
