This is meteorological upper air data. This is a small historical data set of upper air data for scattered stations around the world for 1990-3. The data was orginally received in Australia from the Global Telecommunications System (GTS). DSI-6322 was included in the larger Comprehensive Aerological Data Set (CARDS) Upper Air data set, DSI-6305, which was quality controlled as it was assembled from many smaller data sets. DSI-6322 itself was not quality controlled at the NCDC. Most users should not request DSI-6322, but should instead opt for DSI-6305. Major parameters in upper air data sets are: pressure, temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed and direction. To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. data set C00562 RADIOSONDES RADIOSONDES National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/cab/igra/index.php 19900101 19931231 Ground Condition Complete As Needed -180.0 180.0 90.0 -90.0 ISO 19115 Topic Category climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 004 elevation 006 DIF Discipline Keyword Thesaurus Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Meteorology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Climatology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Weather GCMD Sciences Keyword Valids EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ALTITUDE > GEOPOTENTIAL HEIGHT EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > AIR TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > HUMIDITY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > UPPER LEVEL WINDS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS > CLOUD AMOUNT/FREQUENCY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > AIR QUALITY > VISIBILITY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS > CLOUD TYPES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ALTITUDE > STATION HEIGHT EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > PRESSURE THICKNESS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > TEMPERATURE PROFILES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > WATER VAPOR PROFILES GCMD Location Valids GLOBAL GCMD Location Valids TROPOSPHERE STATOSPHERE RADIOSONDES RADIOSONDES 1 None None Not provided Unknown Completeness information not available.
