Hints
If you are looking for weather station data, make sure that you
include station as one of your keywords.
if you are looking for a particular variable, the variable name
should be included in the search.
if you would like more guidance in choosing data, please look at
Datasets by category.
Place Name Search
Most of the data in this catalog is stored by numerical location; much of it is
global. Thus searching by place name is pretty useless in most of the datasets. However,
there are weather data stored by named stations, like the NOAA
Monthly Station
and the NOAA DAILY STATION
data, and searches by name are allowed there.
