cmbr Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'm working with the NWS Severe Weather Dataset. Under the COUNTYNAME variable for areas hard hit by large storms, it has an alphanumeric code that I assume are a series of abbreviations, but I don't know how to interpret them. Here are a few examples: "MIZ049-055" "FLZ018-021" "VAZ098>100" "LAZ034>040 - 046>050 - 056>070" Initially, I thought they might be the two-letter state abbreviations followed by sets of county FIPS codes, but this doesn't appear to be the case. Would anyone know how to interpret these codes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone know how to interpret these codes? It took me a while to find this. Try the word doc. with descriptions of coding. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents/ftp.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
