Dr. Hermann Mächel of the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre, Offenbach am Main, Germany, kindly compared values in this data set with those from the GDCN (Global Daily Climatology Network, V1.0 from the NOAA National Climatic Data Center). In some cases, this resulted in corrections being made to the digitized version of the log book values. In other cases, the log book values were deemed to be more correct than the GDCN values. These cases in which the log book values are unchanged after re-examination are documented below. The text marked by "+" notes a difference with GDCN values. The text below it is the response of AARI investigators. "TM-1" refers to the station logbook. "The new version" refers to the data set provided here (G02164).
+ Many stations from 1985 day nr. 29-31 (mar-dec) on have no precipitation in contrast to GDCN (eg. station 20046 no missing values 1986 July+Aug 29.-31) about 25 stations have missing values in 1986 July+Aug in contrast to GDCN since 1985 no traces listed, days 29-31 The data for the dates 29-31 since March by December for the period 1985-1990 had been lost during coding-decoding procedures at the following stations: 20026 20292 20766 21358 21931 23242 25595 20034 20294 20856 21405 21946 25034 20046 20353 20864 21432 21955 25042 20049 20357 20871 21504 21965 25051 20069 20388 20891 21535 21978 25062 20087 20476 20946 21541 21982 25173 20199 20667 20963 21611 23022 25282 20274 20674 20964 21647 23024 25392 20289 20696 20967 21824 23032 25399 20291 20744 21301 21825 23146 25594 +20049 1961 Mar very high value (more than 5 standard deviations) The values are correct (TM-1). 1961 day Mar 07h 19h 3 29.0 5.5mm+23.5mm =29.0mm +20049 1981 Oct. first 2 days to high (maybe snow) day Oct 01 11.0 The values are correct (TM-1).
