Files and Database

Precipitation prior to Sept. 2006 was only tipping bucket rain gauge and a manual snow nipher. After that, we started running a total precipitation Alter shielded Geonor Ppt gauge. In addition, the hourly meteorological data variables at NHRC TMM are also organized year by year from 1996 to 2011 and the correction adjustments were done to the raw precipitation data. From August 1998, MSC also started a station at TMM site.  We have data for 2002-2014 in total with various instrument or height for each parameter in WISKI data base in Main2 station.
