Weather Example Data Set

In this manual, we use a weather data set to illustrate model creation and DAC in general. The weather dataset is not an ensemble of simulation outputs. Instead it is a set of measured values of various temporally-changing weather-related quantities, such as temperature, dew point, humidity, sea level pressure, visibility, wind speed, precipitation, cloud cover, and wind direction collected during 2014 for 100 cities in the United States from Weather Underground. The number of samples in each of the time series are all identical, each consisting of a value per day for a little more than a year. In addition to the temporal variables, each city has associated meta data, including city name, state, time zone, population, latitude, longitude, average temperature, average humidity, annual precipitation, average wind speed, average visibility, and average cloud cover.
