Abstract

<p>Marine surface data (ship observation, moored buoys, etc) are segregated from the GTS data stream at NCDC. The GTS records are encoded into IMMA format and collected into monthly files. The primary use of these data are input and cross-check referencing with other ICOADS data sources.</p>
