SROKI TMZA 66.76: USSR Soil Temperature Observations from 78 Stations

78 stations across the USSR collected hydrometeorological data on environmental conditions. The dataset was created by the Western Siberian Computer Centre in 1987 and is currently stored on magnetic tape. Data last updated in 1976.

Use Cases

• Analyze historical soil temperature trends based on hydrometeorological data
• Model environmental conditions for the USSR region based on station observations
• Study climate data preservation methods based on magnetic tape storage format

Strengths

• Data from 78 stations provides a multi-point observational network
• Created in 1987, offering a historical record of environmental conditions

Limitations

• Last updated 1976-12-31 23:59:59.999000; freshness should be verified
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data stored on magnetic tape (800 bit/inch) may require specialized tools for access
