At IWP, we have come across digital sources of daily rainfall data, available station wise over a period of 3-4 decades. We are interested to extract and build an application over this base data so that it can be of better value for our users, similar to the MET DATA application (https://www.indiawaterportal.org/metdata) that we currently have on IWP.
We have come across a problem regarding the consistency in the station names. Across the years, there are several station names that are very similar sounding, and some obviously seem to be grammatical errors.
Is there any way to solve this issue? Is there a standard list of MET stations that we can cross check the current list with. Would any of the members, know any links, resources or people (including in IMD) who can help us solve this problem.
Help on this from the members would be most welcome !
