Observation Datasets

Salient includes access to the following public observation datasets from 2000 via API. The data is not gap-filled, but datasets include a quality flag when the data doesn’t pass quality checks.

• Global Historical Climatology Network Daily (GHCNd) - Daily climate summaries from >100,000 stations in 180 countries and territories. NCEI provides numerous daily variables, including maximum and minimum temperature, total daily precipitation, snowfall, and snow depth. About half the stations only report precipitation. Both record length and period of record vary by station and cover intervals ranging from less than a year to more than 175 years.
• Integrated Surface Database (ISD) - A global database comprising hourly surface observations at >20,000 stations compiled from >100 sources. ISD includes numerous parameters such as wind speed and direction, wind gust, temperature, dew point, cloud data, sea level pressure, altimeter setting, station pressure, present weather, visibility, precipitation amounts for various periods, snow depth, and various other elements as observed by each station.
• National Water Resources Information System (SNIRH)) - A Portugal database of ~ 500 weather stations
• TAHMO - TAHMO observations in East Africa for precip, radiation, humidity, daily tmin/tmax, and windspeed 10m

Weather Observation Variables

• precip: Daily total precipitation (mm)
• temp: Daily average temperature (°C)
• tmax: Daily maximum temperature (°C)
• tmin: Daily minimum temperature (°C)
• snow: Daily snowfall (mm)
• wdir: Daily average wind direction (degrees)
