"The goal of this study was to document the weather observational history of San Diego, California. The climatic data, and information from the observations made there, are readily available for the entire period of record. They may be accessed through the National Climatic Data Center, the Western Regional Climate Center, and the State Climatologist of California. The challenge of this study was to identify the role of San Diego in the development of a federal weather observational program and where it fit in the route that followed from the Army Surgeons, the Signal Service Observer Sergeants, and the Weather Bureau meteorologists, to the 4 current National Weather Service Forecasters and their extensive observational and forecast network of today"--Introduction.
