Observing Site Histories

Detailed reports prepared for the Midwestern Regional Climate Center under the auspices of the Climate Database Modernization Program. The goal of each report is to trace the observing site history from its beginnings in the 19th century through either the present or the date of station closure. The 82 reports were produced between 2002-2007 by three authors: Steve Doty, retired NCDC meteorologist; Glen Conner, Kentucky State Climatologist emeritus; and Gary Grice, retired deputy director of the National Weather Service.
