Global GTS Ship and Buoy Observation Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/347.021

Summary
This data set contains global GTS observations from ships and buoys. The data
are in the ASCII ship weather report format (BBXX). The data are in hourly
data files during the DYNAMO period. These data were collected by NCAR/EOL and
are provided as is, no quality control has been conducted.
