GTS Surface Hourly Observation Data (GEMPAK)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.006

Summary
The GTS Surface Hourly Observation Data is one of several surface data sets
collected by the National Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing
Laboratory (NCAR/EOL) as part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine
Stratocumulus Phase II: Entrainment Studies (DYCOMS-II) project. Included in
the data set are the global hourly (and special) surface observations. These
data are contained in daily files which are in GEMPAK format. It may not
contain data which was removed from the US GTS feed. variable. The data cover
the period from 7 - 28 July 2001. The data were acquired via the UNIDATA Local
Data Manager (LDM).
