GHCN_DIN

Station identifier (GHCN Daily Identification Number).
Note that the first two characters denote the FIPS  country code, the third character is a network code that identifies the station numbering system used, and the remaining eight characters contain the actual station ID. 

The network code  has the following five values:

           0 = unspecified (station identified by up to eight 
	       alphanumeric characters)
	   1 = Community Collaborative Rain, Hail,and Snow (CoCoRaHS)
	       based identification number.  To ensure consistency with
	       with GHCN Daily, all numbers in the original CoCoRaHS IDs
	       have been left-filled to make them all four digits long. 
	       In addition, the characters "-" and "_" have been removed 
	       to ensure that the IDs do not exceed 11 characters when 
	       preceded by "US1". For example, the CoCoRaHS ID 
	       "AZ-MR-156" becomes "US1AZMR0156" in GHCN-Daily
           C = U.S. Cooperative Network identification number (last six 
               characters of the GHCN-Daily ID)
	   E = Identification number used in the ECA&D non-blended
	       dataset
	   M = World Meteorological Organization ID (last five
	       characters of the GHCN-Daily ID)
	   N = Identification number used in data supplied by a 
	       National Meteorological or Hydrological Center
	   R = U.S. Interagency Remote Automatic Weather Station (RAWS)
	       identifier
	   S = U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service SNOwpack
	       TELemtry (SNOTEL) station identifier
           W = WBAN identification number (last five characters of the 
               GHCN-Daily ID)
