Data can be found here ftp://ftp3.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/noaa/isd-lite/
Files from the ftp site will come as one file per weather station, per year. This processor will:
- Convert position dependant to csv
- Apply the proper scaling to each field. Decimals are not in pos dependant files, so they must be divided by a factor of 10.
- Combine all station files for a year into a single file
- GZip the final file
Directory structure of downloaded files should be <data_directory>/<year>
NOAAFileProcessor <data_directory> <output_directory>
