Data are of two types: thermodynamic data (TDAT) and minute wind direction and speed (WDAT). Major parameters in 'TDAT' are station id, observation id, elapsed time of data levels, pressure height, temperature, moisture, equipment performance and ship position (if applicable). Major parameters in 'WDAT' are station id, observation id, wind direction and speeds for each available minute of winds aloft data. Unique ship numbers which were established by NCDC are included in these data. To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. completed DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact asNeeded Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Barometric Altitude Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Planetary Boundary Layer Height Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Tropopause Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Station Height Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Planetary Boundary Layer Height Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Surface Pressure Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Atmospheric Pressure Measurements Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature > Air Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Boundary Layer Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Upper Air Temperature > Vertical Profiles > Inversion Height Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Upper Air Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Atmospheric Stability Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Upper Level Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Wind Profiles Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Upper Level Winds > Flight Level Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Boundary Layer Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Indicators > Humidity Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Profiles Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Indicators > Dew Point Temperature theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
