Data Size
The following is a list of allowable data sizes for the different data formats while retrieving hourly, daily, and monthly data reports. Due to resource limitations, CIMIS has restrictions on the data file size a user can download at a time. One can retrieve, however, as much data as there exists for a particular station, by repeating the procedure, with a different date range. The data file size is expressed as points with each data value being a point.
