Surface Weather Observation Large Scale Map Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/113.008

Summary
This data set contains maps of surface weather observations over the western
two-thirds of the US and southern Canada. The latest observation at the time
the plot was generated was utilized, so the plots contain a mix of standard
hourly and special observations. The maps were generated by NCAR/EOL. This
data set contains imagery from the two PLOWS field phases, 27 January to 30
March 2009 and 14 October 2009 to 10 March 2010. No imagery are available for
the period between the field phases.
