…………

This utility is meant to enable easy access to the PRICIP derived data and product sets.

Selecting from among the PRICIP parameters identified below and submitting your query will generate a Google map that displays results of the query as a plotted set of interactive station/system icons. Selecting a particular icon will reveal basic information about the station/system and provide a list of links to specific PRICIP products and accompanying data sets (e.g., annual rates of change; annual, seasonal, and monthly event magnitudes, and event recurrence intervals of strong winds, heavy rains, and high seas). You will also find links to station and data/product metadata.

The PRICIP products and data sets accessible via this utility represent the results of analyses by the theme-specific data integration and product development teams of NOAA’s Integrated Surface Hourly (ISH) mean sea level pressure and wind speed data; the Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN) precipitation dataset; the National Water Level Observing Network (NWLON) sea level station records; the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) wave buoy records; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Coastal Data Information (CDIP) buoy data, and other data.

For further information, please contact John.Marra@noaa.gov.

Please note that, in its current form, this is a beta-version of the utility and its accompanying content elements.

Also note that for:

• Strong winds, the station set is limited to Alaska (i.e., a portion of the northern North Pacific);
• Heavy Rains, the station set is limited to Hawaii (i.e., the central North Pacific); and
• High Seas, the sea level station set covers the entire Pacific whereas the wave buoy set is limited to portions of the northern, eastern, and central North Pacific.

Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
