Long Term Climate Extremes, Virtual Climate Stations

Long Term Climate Extremes, Virtual Climate Stations A Virtual Climate station is the result of threading together climate data from proximate current and historical stations to construct a long term threaded data set. For the purpose of identifying and tabulating daily extremes of record for temperature, precipitation and snowfall, the Meteorological Service of Canada has threaded or put together data from closely related stations to compile a long time series of data for about 750 locations in Canada to monitor for record-breaking weather. The length of the time series of virtual stations is often greater than 100 years. A Virtual Climate station is always named for an “Area” rather than a point, e.g. Winnipeg Area, to indicate that the data are drawn from that area (within a 20km radius from the urban center) rather than a single precise location. 2024-04-04 Environment and Climate Change Canada ECWeather-Meteo@ec.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyClimateProvide Climate Information Products and ServicesDeliver Climate Products and Services to ClientsMeteorological Service of CanadaWeather and Environmental OperationsNational (CA) MSC DatamartCSV https://dd.weather.gc.ca/climate/ltce/stations/ MSC DatamartCSV https://dd.meteo.gc.ca/climate/ltce/stations/ MSC Datamart AMQPCSV amqps://dd.weather.gc.ca/climate.ltce.stations.# MSC Datamart AMQPCSV amqps://dd.meteo.gc.ca/climate.ltce.stations.# OGC API - FeaturesGEOJSON https://api.weather.gc.ca/collections/ltce-stations/ OGC API - FeaturesGEOJSON https://api.meteo.gc.ca/collections/ltce-stations/ MSC Open Data documentationHTML https://eccc-msc.github.io/open-data/msc-data/climate_ltce/readme_climateltce_en/ MSC Open Data documentationHTML https://eccc-msc.github.io/open-data/msc-data/climate_ltce/readme_climateltce_fr/
