GTS Surface Hourly Observations
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/77.050

Summary
The GTS Surface Hourly Observation Data is one of several surface data sets
collected by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research/Joint Office
for Science Support (UCAR/JOSS) as part of the IHOP 2002 project. Included in
the data set are the global hourly (and special) surface observations. These
data are contained in daily files which are in GEMPAK format. It may not
contain data which was removed from the US GTS feed. The data cover the period
from 13 May to 25 June 2002. The data were acquired via the UNIDATA Local Data
Manager (LDM).
