GTS Surface Synoptic Observations
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/77.049

Summary
The GTS Three-Hourly Synoptic Observation Data is one of several surface data
sets collected by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research/Joint
Office for Science Support (UCAR/JOSS) as part of the IHOP 2002 project.
Included in the data set are the global three-hourly synoptic observations.
These data are contained in daily files which are in GEMPAK format. The data
cover the period from 13 May to 25 June 2002. The data were acquired via the
UNIDATA Local Data Manager (LDM).
