We are interested in the weather data published by NOAA via Data.gov The site offers ability to download data as PDF or CSV files. Has anyone created a real RDBMS (MySQL, SQLite) database out of the data? Is that available as an open source resource?

Thanks in Advance.

  • If you're referring to the ISD data (ncdc.noaa.gov/isd), it wouldn't be hard to create such a db, but it would be very large, I've gotten SQLite to handle 6M rows in geonames (geonames.db.94y.info), but I think ISD would be too much. I'd offer to create a db for you, but, if you already have the data, it's a lot more efficient to do it yourself. – Barry Carter 2 days ago
  • @BarryCarter I was trying to avoid having to write code and create this DB myself. – rams 12 hours ago
  • fair enough, but since the data is already in machine-readable form, and is really large, I don't see anyone releasing an SQL version of it (CSV is sort of the default way of releasing things). – Barry Carter 8 hours ago
