NetSTORM can read either of two NCDC temperature data formats and produce a tabular daily temperature file that can be used in programs such as SWMM or for censoring a precipitation dataset in NetSTORM.

 

NCDC First Order Summary of the Day (TD-3210) data look like this:

00013739PA PHILADELPHIA INTL AP1955123953N07515W    30TMAX24    3924    3824    5724    5524   5224    3924    00013739PA PHILADELPHIA INTL AP1955123953N07515W    30TMIN24    2424    2824    3524    4424   3424    2824   

 

NCDC Cooperative Summary of the Day (TD-3200) data look like this:

DLY19524603TMAX F19480699990310198    60 10298    71 10398    66 10498    66 10598    58 10698    66 10798    DLY19524603TMAX F19480799990310198    74 10298    78 10398    80 10498    84 10598    83 10698    79 10798   

 

The resulting temperature file has the format mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm Tavg Tmax Tmin. It looks like this:

 08/27/1998 00:00  69  80  58

 08/28/1998 00:00  71  83  58

 08/29/1998 00:00  74  82  66
