U.S. Navy Climatological Summary
U.S. Navy Climatological Summary is a historical publication available at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). These consist of a number of U.S. Navy Climatological Briefs, or Climatic Briefs, for selected U.S. Navy stations and commercial airports worldwide. The primary source of data utilized in these tabulations is the Record of Surface Weather Observations (MF1-10 forms) recorded at U.S. military installations. Data periods used are variable from 10 to 30 years, starting in about 1940. The U.S. Navy station climatic summary presents a means and extremes table for selected meteorological elements; a table of percentage frequencies for selected flying-weather conditions; sequential tables of monthly and annual values of mean temperature (deg F), total precipitation (in.), and total heating-degree days (base 65 deg F). Also included are a narrative description of the climate of the area around the station and a table showing the station location and instrument history.
