Monthly Mean Precipitation Sums at Russian Arctic Stations, 1966-1990, Version 1

Precipitation measurements were acquired using a Tretyakov precipitation gauge. Data have not been adjusted for wind bias.

Data from 1967 and later are corrected for wetting loss (this correction was made by observers as they recorded the station data). Precipitation measurements from 216 stations are available. An analysis of existing precipitation data sets confirmed that data from these stations are not, at the time of publication, available in other commonly used precipitation data sets.
