            <gco:CharacterString>Maximum Short Duration Precipitation is historical data set DSI-9649 archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The major data variables that make up this digital file are: station ID data; 5-180 minute data; time of day and precipitation amount; greatest 24 hour precipitation and snowfall with date for month; maximum snow depth and date for month; total monthly snowfall; and the QC flags for each of these fields. This data set contains data for the period 1973-1998 with some missing data. Data is from the United States and its Territories, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and several islands in the Pacific Ocean. Data earlier than 1973 is available in various publications: A summary of maximum precipitation data for the years prior to 1896 was published in the Annual Report of the Chief of the Weather Bureau 1895-1896. Excessive precipitation data for the period 1881-1896 were published in the Annual Report of the Chief of the Weather Bureau 1896-1897. Data for 1897-1934 were published in the Annual Report of the Chief of the Weather Bureau for each of those years. For 1935-1949, data were published in the United States Meteorological Yearbook for each of those years. The annual issues of the NCDC Climatic Data National Summary (CDNS) (C00098) publication show excessive precipitation for 1950-1972 and maximum precipitation for 1973-1980. (CDNS was discontinued after 1980.)</gco:CharacterString>
