HOMR provides a web service that you can use to get station metadata in JSON format.ĪPI Documentation Hourly Station Location Metadata sites like those in the National Weather Service National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Observer Program have the most extensive historical information in HOMR. These reports provide historical information on every station in the database, and station lists with basic information for various observing networks. NCEI generates standard flat-file reports and kmz files using the station history database. You can search for these stations by a variety of criteria, display summary information for stations matching those criteria, and drill down for more detailed information about each individual station.

The HOMR search tool provides access to detailed histories for stations whose data are archived at NCEI. Use the ISD Inventory to access hourly station location metadata.

HOMR currently provides station histories for GHCN Daily and Monthly datasets, along with many other land based networks listed under Current Holdings. HOMR tracks historical names, identifiers, locations, and equipment for stations located throughout the world. The Historical Observing Metadata Repository (HOMR) is an integrated station history database that provides land-based station metadata in support of research, reporting, data products, and web applications.

These data are only as good as the quality of our station histories, which explain where and under what circumstances the observations were taken. Histories are available for NCEI datasets that cover hourly, monthly, and daily time resolutions for land stations. NCEI Station Histories provide essential metadata about land-based weather stations in the U.S.
