Data provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
The NOAA Cooperative Observer Program (COOP) 15-Minute Precipitation Data consists of quality controlled precipitation amounts, which are measurements of 15 minute accumulation of precipitation, including rain and snow for approximately 2,000 observing stations around the country, and several U.S. territories in the Caribbean and Pacific operated or managed by the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS). Stations are primary, secondary, or cooperative observer sites that have the capability to measure precipitation at 15 minute intervals. This dataset contains 15-minute precipitation data (reported 4 times per hour, if precipitation occurred) for U.S. stations along with selected non-U.S. stations in U.S. territories and associated nations. It includes major city locations and many small town locations. Daily total precipitation is also included as part of the data record. The dataset period of record is from May 1970 to December 2013. The dataset is archived by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI).
