      <abstract>Montana climate stations for which data summaries are available from the Western Regional Climate Center at http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/climatedata/climsum/.  The climate summary page for a particular station may be obtained by adding the value of the URLCODE field or the last four digits before the hyphen in the COOP_NUMBE field to the end of this URL: http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?mt

This copy of the data was probably downloaded from the Western Regional Climate Center inventory page in 1992.  It was available from the Montana Digital Atlas and the GIS Data Bundler.  It was removed from the State Library web site on 2/5/2015 when new data became available from the Montana Climate Office.</abstract>
