STORM-WAVE Hourly Surface Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/2.003

Summary
The STORM-WAVE Hourly Surface Composite contains data from several networks
(i.e., Artais Automated Weather Observation System, Handar AWOS, and
Qualimetrics AWOS, Oklahoma Mesonet, Department Of Energy Atmospheric
Radiation Measurement Surface, High Plains Climate Network, Automated Surface
Observing System, Wind Profiler Network, national Climatic Data Center Surface
Airways Observations, Iowa AWOS, Illinois Climate Network, and Colorado
Agricultural Meteorological Network) for the STORM-WAVE Domain. Data from
these sources (964 stations) were merged and quality controlled to form this
Surface Composite.
