STORM-WAVE 20 Minute Surface Composite

Summary

The STORM-WAVE 20 Minute Surface Composite contains data from several networks (i.e., Artais Automated Weather Observation System, Handar Awos, and Qualimetrics AWOS) for the STORM-WAVE domain. Data from these sources (155 stations) were merged and quality controlled to form this Surface Composite. These data files are available as ASCII text files and netCDF data files.
