GCIP/NESOB-97 Surface: Hourly Surface Meteorological Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/40.010

Summary
The GCIP/NESOB-97 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, National Climatic Data Center DATSAV2, and the NOAA
Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division Little Washita site) for the
NESOB 97 domain. Data from these sources were merged and quality controlled
for the GCIP/ESOP-97 area and time of interest and were then cut to the NESOB
97 area of interest to form this Surface Composite.
