From the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), DSS obtains annual updates of the DSI 6301 UPPER AIR DIGITAL FILES, which are then quality checked, reformatted, hydrostatically checked, and merged into existing station time series. Primarily, stations are located in the contiguous U.S., Alaska, the Caribbean, Hawaii and other Pacific Islands, plus Keflavik, Ascension Island, Diego Garcia, and the South Pole. There are currently about 110 stations received. Mandatory, standard, and significant levels may include pressure, height, temperature, moisture, wind direction and speed. Earliest data is for 1945, but periods of record vary widely among the stations. onGoing datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact annually dataset DSS TSR dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral WEATHER STATIONS > WEATHER STATIONS FIXED OBSERVATION STATIONS > FIXED OBSERVATION STATIONS GROUND STATIONS > GROUND STATIONS METEOROLOGICAL STATIONS > METEOROLOGICAL STATIONS BALLOONS OCEAN WEATHER STATIONS PIBAL > Pilot Balloons 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 RAWINSONDES > RAWINSONDES 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: Instruments EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > WATER VAPOR INDICATORS > HUMIDITY 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 1912-01-01 2005-12-31 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 4298.543 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d390001/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d390001/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
