gov.noaa.ncdc:C00131 National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Unknown tabular digital data http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov The ozone data set is composed of high resolution 0.5 minute interval measurements for the period January-August 1963. The data was collected by rocketsonde measurements from stations scattered over the Western Hemisphere. The stations include: Fairbanks AK, Panama Canal Zone, Thule Greenland, Fort Churchill NV, Goose Bay Newfoundland, Tallahassee FL, Seattle WA, Madison WI, Fort Collins CO, Albuquerque NM, and Bedford MA. The data were collected by the USA NOAA Air Resources Laboratories, Geophysical Monitoring for Climatic Change Program, and published in Canada on behalf of the World Meteorological Organization. Major parameters in DSI-9515 are ozone, ozone density, total ozone, pressure, temperature, relative humidity, dew point, and potential temperature. To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. data set C00131 OZONE DETECTORS OZONE SENSOR TEMPERATURE SENSORS PRESSURE SENSORS HUMIDITY SENSORS OZONEMETERS SOUNDING ROCKETS CGC > NOAA Climate and Global Change Program National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce 19630101 19630831 Ground Condition Complete As Needed -150.0 -60.0 77.0 8.0 ISO 19115 Topic Category climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 004 environment 007 DIF Discipline Keyword Thesaurus Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Meteorology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Climatology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Weather GCMD Sciences Keyword Valids EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > AIR QUALITY > TROPOSPHERIC OZONE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY/OXYGEN COMPOUNDS > OZONE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > POTENTIAL TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > AIR TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > DEW POINT TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > HUMIDITY GCMD Location Valids CANADA GREENLAND PANAMA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GCMD Location Valids TROPOSPHERE STRATOSPHERE LAND SURFACE CGC > NOAA Climate and Global Change Program SOUNDING ROCKETS TEMPERATURE SENSORS CGC > NOAA Climate and Global Change Program SOUNDING ROCKETS PRESSURE SENSORS CGC > NOAA Climate and Global Change Program SOUNDING ROCKETS HUMIDITY SENSORS CGC > NOAA Climate and Global Change Program SOUNDING ROCKETS OZONE DETECTORS CGC > NOAA Climate and Global Change Program SOUNDING ROCKETS OZONE SENSOR CGC > NOAA Climate and Global Change Program SOUNDING ROCKETS OZONEMETERS CGC > NOAA Climate and Global Change Program SOUNDING ROCKETS ROCKETSONDES 1 None None Not provided Unknown Completeness information not available.
