These were operationally collected by NMC. They include radiosondes, pibals and aircraft reports received via the Global Telecommunications System (GTS). NMC used Automated Data Processing (ADP) to decode and reformat the GTS reports. This data was the primary input (known as "B 3s") for NMC's modeling and forecasting. It was also a major input for the NCEP/NCAR and ECMWF Reanalysis Projects. The NCAR document TN404 An Introduction to Atmospheric and Oceanographic Datasets, (chapter 3) [http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cas/tn404/text/tn404_6.html#HEADING18] discusses the collection of this data in greater detail. The ADPUPA data includes land and ship launched radiosondes and pibals. Data may be available at up to 20 mandatory levels from 1000mb to 10mb, plus a few significant levels. The AIRCFT data includes flight level reports from commercial, military and reconnaissance sources. The data may include pressure, deviation value (deviation from standard atmosphere geopotential height), temperature, dew point, wind direction and speed. This dataset is in an NCAR blocked version of the NMC Office Note 20 (ON20) format, which involves using the DSS RPTOUT software. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset Binary dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral WEATHER STATIONS > WEATHER STATIONS Ships FIXED OBSERVATION STATIONS > FIXED OBSERVATION STATIONS GROUND STATIONS > GROUND STATIONS METEOROLOGICAL STATIONS > METEOROLOGICAL STATIONS OCEAN WEATHER STATIONS AIRCRAFT MOVING SHIPS FIXED SHIPS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms GTS > Global Telecommunications System U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Projects EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ALTITUDE > STATION HEIGHT EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > UPPER LEVEL WINDS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > WATER VAPOR INDICATORS > DEW POINT TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > UPPER AIR TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > SURFACE PRESSURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ALTITUDE > GEOPOTENTIAL HEIGHT U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 1962-03-04 1972-12-31 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 5290.762 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d353000/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d353000/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
