STORM-FEST 5-minute Surface Land Composite

Summary

5 min composite from data collected at sites with 5 min or less resolution. Approximately 120 sites include ASOS, AWOS NWS/FAA, FSL, ICN, HPCN, PAM and USGS. Data includes temperature, dewpoint, station pressure, wind speed/ direction and precipitation. All data have been converted to a common format and quality controlled. These data files are available as ASCII text files and netCDF data files.
