global:station::M:NCEI Monthly Summaries.

Requires registration and free API key.

For every datatype and record there is a set of meta-data flags. For the GHCNDMS dataset, the flags are:

'Total Missing','Consecutive Missing'

Total Missing:

Defined as total number of days observation/element is missing in that month. This can be taken as a measure of quality or completeness as the higher the number of days sampled in the month, the more representative the value is for the entire month.

Consecutive Missing:

Defined as the maximum number of consecutive days in the month that an observation/element is missing.

The following table lists the datatypes available for the annual dataset. Not all of the datatypes are available for all stations.
