SHEBA Composite Data Observations
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/13.834

Summary
This data set contains the hourly values of 31 parameters that are a
combination of observations from the Atmospheric Surface Flux Group (ASFG)
SHEBA site and from other SHEBA sites (Quebec 2, Pittsburgh, and Mainline).
Data were collected from 9 October 1997 through 8 October 1998. Data are
provided in both Matlab file and ASCII file format, with two data files for
each file format.

Please see the documentation for a list of parameters and the processing.
Note: Data have been updated as of 23 May 2011.
