Illinois Climate Network: Crop Growing Degree-Day Data Disclaimer
Quality assurance of meteorological sensors is a high priority of Illinois Climate Network (ICN) staff. Transference of data to other locations involves some level of risk, which increases as the distance from the observation site increases and with the spatial variability of the particular parameter of interest, in accordance with the scale of the weather event being measured. The data user assumes all responsibility for this risk. Nevertheless, all recorded data gathered from instrumentation operating by ICN standards are considered as providing factual information on the weather occurring at a particular instance and location. These data will not give precise information on what occurred at a desired location away from an ICN site, but they do represent a sample of what occurred locally during a particular time period or weather event.
The Illinois State Water Survey and/or The Illinois Department of Natural Resources shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described or information contained on these pages. These data, information and related graphics are not legal documents and are not intended to be used as such.
The Illinois State Water Survey and/or The Illinois Department of Natural Resources gives no warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, utility or completeness of this information. The user of this system assumes all responsibility and risk for the use of this server and the Internet generally. The Illinois State Water Survey and/or the University of Illinois disclaims all warranties, representations or endorsements, express or implied, with regard to the information accessed from, or via, this server or the Internet, including, but not limited to, all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.
