It was originally developed for climate-division, statewide, regional, national, and population-weighted monitoring of drought, temperature, precipitation, and heating/cooling degree day values. Since the dataset was at the divisional spatial scale, it naturally lent itself to agricultural and hydrological applications.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN><SPAN>There are 344 climate divisions in the CONUS. For each climate division, monthly station temperature and precipitation values are computed from the daily observations. The </SPAN></SPAN><A href="ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/cirs/drd/divisional.README"><SPAN><SPAN>divisional values</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN>are weighted by area to compute statewide values and the </SPAN></SPAN><A href="ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/cirs/drd/state.README"><SPAN><SPAN>statewide values</SPAN></SPAN></A><SPAN><SPAN>are weighted by area to compute regional values.
