ClimoBase: lessons learned while rescuing observational data from extinction
ClimoBase is a dataset that includes approximately 7000 files of climate-related measurements collected over a 14-year period at sites in Churchill, Manitoba, Marantz Lake, Manitoba, and Inuvik, Northwest Territories. The original dataset was created in 1999 with an extraction program built in Fortr...
