Crazy Deke's One-Stop Coop Data Machine! |
... WITH NEW AND/OR IMPROVED PRODUCTS ... (for now, these products are intended for internal use only, and available only to ou.edu domain) |
Background: The scripts available via these pages are being overhauled/created to accomodate our new, long-term coop data set! |
Currently: Finishing up overhauls of CLIMOCS and Timeseries products. |
Next: A Month in Time: Refine original implementation. |
A Month in Time Pick a station, month, and year. We'll present you with a calendar of the observed data therein (big words impress people). This is designed to answer the question: "What was the weather like on my honeymoon in Muskogee in July 1951?" Status: bare-bones functional for limited data, lots of bugs, more development needed To Be Done: Too much to list, but includes: recognizing "param not available"; incorporate winter precip; compute monthly avgs/extremes; fix "end year = 9999" bug |
Monthly Climate Calendar Long-term averages, temperature and precip extremes for each day of a given month for a given station. This is designed to answer the question: "What is it like in Ardmore during April?" Status: Complete Stuff I intend to do, but not in this version: Construct composite stations for cities, counties, or start-n-stop stations with different numbers. (e.g., an "OKC Metro Area" superstation of Tinker, Wiley Post, Will Rogers, OKC East, etc). |
Statewide Records These are culled directly from the output of the daily coop records scripts. This is designed to answer the question: "Just how hot/cold/rainy/snowy can it get in Oklahoma on my birthday?" Status: Machinery complete (could use a facelift) To Be Done: Aesthetic changes: text formatting, color, etc. |
Statewide Normal/Extreme Maps These are culled from the output of the daily coop records scripts. This is designed to answer the question: "Just how hot/cold/rainy/snowy can it get at every station in Oklahoma on my birthday?" Or the question: "What's the normal Tmax/Tmin/rainfall at every station in Oklahoma on my birthday?" Status: Still in "conceptualization phase" (I haven't done a darn thing) |
Timeseries Information (monthly version) Daily values for any of six variables (Tmax, Tmin, Tobs, Precip, Snowfall and Snow Depth) for up to 36 months per retrieval. Status: Almost Complete. Estimated completion date: Monday, December 9. E-mail me any suggestions by then. To Be Done: catch "didn't select a real station" before continuing. Done: Converted to new data set; increase maximum data pull to >36 months (per Gary McManus). |
Daily Calendar Information Records and long-term averages (not official normals!) for a given day for a selected station Status: USES OLD, INCOMPLETE DATA SET: MAY BE IN ERROR FOR SOME CASES. A NEW VERSION IS FORTHCOMING. Consider "Monthly Climate Calendar" as an alternative. THIS SCRIPT IS LAST IN LINE FOR REPAIRS. |
CLIMOCS Summary Information Temperature/precip extremes and 30-year normals (or a surrogate normal) and exceedence-of-threshold frequencies for each of the 12 months for a selected station. Status: Almost complete. Estimated completion date: Wednesday, November 27. E-mail me any suggestions by then. To Be Done: Tweak tables to eliminate "crowded" look. Write help page. List annual data. Handle trace precipitation. List periods of record. Separate fozen precip into its own table? Stuff I intend to do, but not in this version: Construct composite stations for cities, counties, or start-n-stop stations with different numbers. (e.g., an "OKC Metro Area" superstation of Tinker, Wiley Post, Will Rogers, OKC East, etc). |
