GCIP/NESOB-96 Surface: Hourly Surface Meteorological Composite

Summary

The GCIP/NESOB-96 Hourly Surface Composite contains data from several networks (i.e., Automated Surface Observing System, Department Of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Surface,Wind Profiler Network, High Plains Climate Network, and the National Climatic Data Center Surface Airways Observations for the NESOB 96 domain. Data from these sources were merged and quality controlled for the GCIP/ESOP-96 area and time of interest and were then cut to the NESOB 96 area of interest to form this Surface Composite.
