About this dataset

This dataset contains the daily summaries of four precipitation indicators for Argentina across thousands of base stations that National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), administrated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States government, has access to. The four indicators included in this record are: Total Precipitation (TPCP), Maximum Snow Depth (MXSD), Total Snow Fall (TSNW), and Extreme Maximum Daily Precipitation (EMXP).

This dataset represents a valuable asset due to its wide variety of data collected from multiple points within one country over a relatively long timeframe - five years. As such, it can be used to provide deeper insights into possible patterns or underlying figures when analyzing weather patterns within Argentina and their impacts on different sectors like agriculture, tourism or health.

Nonetheless, as this data is dynamic in nature there are some caveats that need to be taken into consideration when using this information. As an example, due to late arrival of some records the quantity of recent observations might not be properly represented on all categories; nevertheless, we can expect a good approximation towards final outcomes with the ratios between warm and cold records usually reliable enough for further analysis.

How to use the dataset

How To Use This Dataset

This dataset contains daily summaries of precipitation indicators across Argentina. It includes four different indicators - Total Precipitation (TPCP), Maximum Snow Depth (MXSD), Total Snow Fall (TSNW), and Extreme Maximum Daily Precipitation (EMXP). This guide will provide steps to help you use the dataset and access the valuable insights it can provide.

Research Ideas

  • Create an interactive precipitation map of Argentina in which users can observe patterns over time and in different regions of the country.
  • Develop an early warning system for areas at risk of flooding or landslides based on changing precipitation indicators.
  • Analyze extreme maximum daily precipitation as a means for predicting severe weather events across Argentina and prepare vulnerable communities accordingly
