About the Data:
The Climate Prediction Center daily (1200 - 1200 UTC) soil temperature reports are from approximately 50 stations across southern and mid western tier of the US in near real time (within 12 hours). The data include multiple sources across the US: NWS Cooperative Observer Network (COOP) via Weather Forecast Offices (WFO) and regional climate centers. These data are a calculated daily mean soil temperature at a depth of 4 inches below the ground. Observing techniques may vary without knowledge of CPC.

NOTE:: Please be advised that there is no quality control applied to this data.
