Abstract

The Surface METAR Data set is one of several surface data sets collected by the National Center for Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing Laboratory (NCAR/EOL). Included in the data set are the global hourly METAR observations. These data are contained in monthly files which are in tarred bzip2 format (.tar.bz2). The data were acquired via the UNIDATA Local Data Manager (LDM).
