This is meteorological data. This data set contains hourly or 3-hourly surface weather observations that are taken primarily at major airports and military bases. The stations are operated by the US National Weather Service (NWS), US Air Force Air Weather Service (AWS), U.S. Navy, and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The NWS and FAA sites are located in the US, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and several other Pacific locations. The U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force operate weather observing stations at military bases worldwide. Observations are made by trained personnel, or by automated equipment that has been tested by the controlling agency. Stations are usually fully instrumented and therefore record a complete range of meteorological parameters. Observations are generally recorded for the 24-hour period midnight to midnight. The major parameters are clouds, visibility, winds, air temperature, sky cover, relative humidity, air pressure, and present weather. However, there have been several historical changes in the way observations have been recorded, including the advent of the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) in 1992. The detailed parameters, allowing for such changes, are: sky condition in tenths and height per layer; sky condition in eighths and height per layer; altimeter setting; sky condition in tenths and cloud coverage by layer; sky condition in eighths and cloud coverage by layer; ceiling height; cloud type and height by layer; total amount of sky cover by the first two cloud layers and by the first three cloud layers; dew point temperature in tenths Celsius; dew point temperature in Fahrenheit; horizontal visibility; station pressure; present weather code; present weather between 5 and 10 statute miles in vicinity; relative humidity; sea level pressure; air temperature in tenths Celsius; air temperature in Fahrenheit; wet bulb temperature in tenths Fahrenheit; total sky cover in eighths; total sky cover and total opaque sky cover measured in tenths; wind direction and speed to 16 points; wind direction and speed; and wind direction and speed from ASOS. All parameters are not reported by all stations. The oldest data was orginally in manuscript form. Older manuscript data is keyed and added to the archived digital data set from time to time; the earliest digital data is currently from 1936. Users should be aware that DSI-3280 and DSI-3283 (C00365) are similar. The only difference is that DSI-3280 contains quality controlled data that has been hand checked by personnel at the archive. DSI-3283 only contains data that is automatically quality controlled, therefore, it is considered to be raw 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 > Solid Earth > Volcanoes > Volcanic Ash/Dust Earth Science > Atmosphere > Air Quality > Visibility Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Barometric Altitude Earth Science > Atmosphere > Weather Events > Tropical Cyclones Earth Science > Atmosphere > Weather Events > Fog Earth Science > Human Dimensions > Natural Hazards > Tropical Cyclones > Hurricanes Earth Science > Atmosphere > Weather Events > Lightning Earth Science > Atmosphere > Weather Events > Rain Storms Earth Science > Atmosphere > Weather Events > Tornados Earth Science > Human Dimensions > Natural Hazards > Tropical Cyclones > Typhoons Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature > Maximum/Minimum Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Station Height Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Atmospheric Pressure Measurements Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Pressure Tendency Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Sea Level Pressure Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Surface Pressure Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Indicators > Dew Point Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Indicators > Humidity Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud Properties > Cloud Base Height Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud Properties > Cloud Ceiling Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud Properties > Cloud Height Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud Properties > Cloud Frequency Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud Types Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud Properties > Cloud Vertical Distribution Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Surface Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Precipitation Amount Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Precipitation Rate Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Solid Precipitation > Snow Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Liquid Precipitation > Rain > Freezing Rain Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Solid Precipitation > Ice Pellets > Sleet Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Solid Precipitation > Hail Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Liquid Precipitation > Rain Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Radiation > Solar Radiation Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Surface Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Wind Tendency 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.
