    Data Temperature
AI Thread Summary
A request for historical temperature data for a city over 50+ years highlights several resources for obtaining this information. The NASA GISS website provides station data that includes mean temperatures over various time frames. For Canadian climate data, the Environment Canada website offers similar resources. In the U.S., the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Climate Data Center are key sources for historical weather data, allowing users to locate weather stations by zip code or county. However, accessing this data may incur costs, and some historical records may not be fully available.

Specifically I am looking for a list (preferably one I can throw into Mathematica with not too much work) of all the temperature highs and lows for a city over all recorded temperature history (AKA daily temps over 50+ years). Anyone know where I might find that? Thanks!

Something like this be usefull to you?

You can click on the map and select a weather station and it gives you the mean temperature measured over a month as well as over the different season.

I know of this site however for Canadian climate data: http://climate.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/climateData/canada_e.html

What city?

In the US, one would have to contact NOAA or better the National Climate Data Center.

One can locate weather stations by zip code, or other means, e.g., county.

As far as I can tell, there will be a cost, and not all information will be available, particularly as one goes further back.
 
Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'
(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...
On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.
