GTS PACS Region Ship-Based Meteorological Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/15.103

Summary
This data set contains all ship-based surface meteorological observations
available from GTS over the region from 30 N to 60 S latitude and 30 to 150 W
longitude as collected by NCAR/SCD. It includes site identifier information,
wind speed and direction, surface and sea level pressure, air temperature, and
dew point depression. These data have undergone no quality control. See the
README for more details.
