GCIP/GIST: AWOS Data with QC, 20-Minute

Summary

32 AWOS sites in the GCIP/GIST domain measured 20 min. averages of temperature, dewpoint, altimeter, visibility, wind speed/direction, barometric pressure, sky conditions, density altitude and precipitation. Winds averaged using 2-5 min running mean, cloud heights using a 30 min running mean. This data has undergone quality control.
