LDM Surface METAR Hourly Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/82.164

Summary
The Surface METAR Data set is one of several surface data sets collected by
the National Center for Atmospheric Research/ Earth Observing Laboratory
(NCAR/EOL). Included in the data set are the global hourly surface
meteorological observations in NCAR/EOL columnar ascii surface QC format.
These data are contained in daily files which are compressed in gzip format
(.gz). The data were aquired via the UNIDATA Local Data Manager (LDM).
