Sources & method

NOAA GHCN-Daily provides station observations; GeoNames supplies the fixed regional anchor. The approved build turns the raw R2 holdings into this small, dated projection and deploys no raw archive.

Projection generated 2026-08-25. Publication rule: at least 10 usable years per month, within 100 km and 350 m elevation difference.
