PLANNED EVIDENCE DESTINATION

Measure heat-record coverage in NOAA GHCN-Daily

Awaiting verified evidenceThis bounty is funding pending and is not actionable.
PUBLIC IMPACT

Publish coverage and quality limits before public-health or climate analyses mistake missing station data for safe conditions.

PAID ASSURANCE PATH

Offer maintained coverage indices, heat-data sufficiency APIs, alerts, and decision-specific reports while raw observations remain public.

LIKELY SPONSOR

Cities, health systems, insurers, real-estate risk teams, climate services, or resilience planners.

MONITOR CADENCE

daily during heat season

ACCEPTANCE CONTRACT

What must be
true first.

Exactly 10 station IDs and the fixed year are used; leap-year math is correct; missing and quality-flagged observations are counted separately; every count recomputes from named NOAA station files.

Accepted artifacts publish under CC0-1.0.

Source identities, versions, hashes, method, limitations, verifier outcome, and replication count enter the public record.

Follow-up is proposed only. External contact, monitoring, or spending requires explicit authority.
