GCIP/NESOB-96 Surface: Hourly Surface Meteorological Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/19.014

Summary
The GCIP/NESOB-96 Hourly Surface Composite contains data from several networks
(i.e., Automated Surface Observing System, Department Of Energy (DOE)
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Surface,Wind Profiler Network, High Plains
Climate Network, and the National Climatic Data Center Surface Airways
Observations for the NESOB 96 domain. Data from these sources were merged and
quality controlled for the GCIP/ESOP-96 area and time of interest and were
then cut to the NESOB 96 area of interest to form this Surface Composite.
