Historic Data
HRECOS has been collecting weather and water quality data since 2008. Legacy data are available for download through the table below. For data collected after 2019, visit the Track Conditions page. For more information about data quality review the historic HRECOS Quality Assurance Project Plan. To best understand the data, consult the Historic Data Key and station metadata files.
