GTS Hourly Marine Observation Data (GEMPAK)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.008

Summary
The GTS Hourly Marine 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 surface marine observations from buoys and
ships of opportunity. These data are contained in daily files which are in
GEMPAK format. The data cover the period from 7 - 28 July 2001. The data were
acquired via the UNIDATA Local Data Manager (LDM).
