From Clayton B…
Currently I have the following tables in mind (some in Access):
* SurfaceStations: (StationID, CRNRating, SSLat, SSLon, SSElev, SurveyObservations) - US
* StationDataV2: Straight from http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/ushcn_monthly/station_history - US + ROW
* StationLandUse: Straight from http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/ushcn_monthly/station_landuse - US
*StationHistory - Havent figured out how to handle this one

OK JohnV,
It is working. I’ve exported 3 tables from Access - station history, land use, and station data.
I havent done the surfacestations.org table yet (see post above). Perhaps Anthony Watts could keep an updated version here

OK,
The following tables are in:
StationDataV2: from USHCN with lots of good info (if it’s trusted)
StationHistory: currently shows station moves
StationID: an attempt to link all types of station ID numbers
SurfaceStations: SurfaceStation.org - surrently just ratings
USHCNPopulation: from USHCNv2
NCDCLandUse: from USHCNv2 - needs more work

Priority 1: Creat a table or system to tie all Station IDs together. Right now it’s a mess.

I have added interactive graphing of GHCN station data to my web site (www.appinsys.com/GlobalWarming) linked in the upper-right corner of the page. Multiple stations can be graphed, unadjusted can be compared to adjusted, monthly data can also be graphed.
