The major parameters which make up this warm flux upper air data file are: wind resultants (mean vector winds), water vapor flux and eddy flux components, specific humidity, computed dew points (sums, counts, and means), temperature (sums, counts, and means), relative humidity (sums, counts, and means), height (sums, counts, and means), maximum winds (dir, speed, and day of occurrence), steadiness factor, warm flux. DSI-9711 data is a by-product of routine processing of rawinsonde data. Data is computed monthly for each standard pressure level from approximately 117 upper air stations for the 1200 hour observations with a few exceptions for which the 0000 hour observation is used. Up to 37 levels from the surface to 0002 millibars are possible for each station. Missing levels for each station will have id elements only. Missing data are represented by blank fields. Relative humidity and flux elements within this data set contain both statistical and actual values and counts of each are maintained during processing. A statistical value was used when the rawinsonde humidity element 'motorboats' due to very low humidity. These values are a set of mean values for use at various temperatures when the electric hygrometer is below its operating range. 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 > Pressure Thickness 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 > Surface 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 > Surface 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 Indicators > Dew Point Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Profiles Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud Mass Flux 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.

If its a ship station then latitude in degrees and 10ths are used in this field. RANGE: 00000-99999 ELEMENT: Year POSITION: 6-7 DEFINITION: The year of a specific record.

ELEMENT: Sum of Y component (South/North) POSITION: 21-25 DEFINITION: The sum total of all the winds reported occurring from a south to north (Y) wind component. This element reports in meters per second (mps). It is computed by (cosine of direction times speed). Negative sums have (X overpunch) in low order position. ELEMENT: Sum of X SQD component (West/East) POSITION: 26-33 DEFINITION: The sum of each individually squared west to east (X) wind component.
