GCIP/ESOP-95 Surface: Hourly Surface Meteorological Composite

Summary

The GCIP/ESOP-95 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, and Colorado Agricultural Meteorological data) for the ESOP 95 domain. Data from these sources were merged and quality controlled to form this Surface Composite.
