Summary

Note: this data release has been deprecated due to errors found in the ARGNXX.wdm file. Please see the detail in new data release at https://doi.org/10.5066/P146RBHK The text file "Air temperature.txt" contains hourly data and associated data-source flag from January 1, 1948, to September 30, 2015. The primary source of the data is the Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois. The data-source flag consist of a three-digit sequence in the form "xyz" that describe the origin and transformations of the data values. They indicate if the data are original or missing, the method that was used to fill the missing periods, and any other transformations of the data. The user of the data should consult Over and others (2010) for the detailed documentation [...]

Purpose

This data set may be used as input to the Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) model or other similar rainfall-runoff model for simulating streamflow in DuPage County and nearby areas in northeastern Illinois. This database is available to public and other cooperators for doing similar streamflow simulations or meteorological analyses.
