- abstract: This dataset contains the daily summaries of temperature for each year 1970-2022 for each New Mexico station local (393 total), Placename, small area (where monitors are available), county, NWS Climate Division and EPA Eco-Region. The dataset was created using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Centers for Environmental Information data, https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datatools. Data downloads include daily temperature maximum, minimum, average. Additionally, the data include data quality flags, date and time of observation and moisture measures of precipitation and evaporation. Because space and speed of processing for queries is important, the original data gets parsed into temperatures and precipitation files and, while utilized in processing, the flags and time of observation are not kept in the analysis files. Further, because most records with precipitation do not include temperature measures those measures are also parsed into separate files for query (see Precipitation.xml metadata). Using these data, we calculate both daily maximum and maximum temperatures for all of New Mexico and substate geographies. Our queries can identify and display histories, comparisons and extreme heat days using both absolute temperature thresholds (i.e. days when temperatures reached 90°F, 94°F, 95, 100°F, or 105°F) and user specified temperature thresholds. We also use the data to facilitate linkage with populations and health outcomes.
- purpose: This dataset contains measures of temperatures that may be summarized at the day, month and annual levels and enable comparisons over time and/or geography for minimum, maximum, minimum and maximum or threshold temperatures. This does not provide complete information on actual exposure to dangerous temperatures in any given region or for any given person.
- methods: The various geographic-level measures of heat exposure were created using National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Centers for Environmental Information data, https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datatools data. To do this, we first take the minimum and/or maximum temperature within each area in New Mexico.
