Title

GARP Global Upper Air and Surface Observations for June 1970

Alternative title(s)

d600000

Abstract

This Global Atmospheric Research Programme (GARP) dataset was compiled from observations received operationally at the National Meteorological Center (NMC) and the Environmental Technical Applications Center (ETAC), from teletype-punched cards, and from special mailed in reports. Data for June 1970 include global upper air and surface observations from land stations, global surface marine data, and global aircraft reports.
