  • STAGE 5: Homogenized products

More Information about Stages

  • Stage 1 is the original format given to us by the institution "as is". We do no alteration to stage1
  • Stage 2 data is common formatted, and much like GHCN-M there is a data file and the inventory file. Format is as follows:
  • Because we are only looking for certain parameters in Stage 2, there may be information lost, however the data provenance flags will help the user go back into the previous stages and grab other necessary information if it is needed
  • Stage 3 data will have the same common format as Stage 2, however these stations will be unique.
  • Stage 4 data will be Quality Controlled, however may or may not have the same format as Stage 2/3
    • ie, The operational GHCN-D is considered Stage 4
