GTS Surface Hourly Observations
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/85.025

Summary
The GTS Surface Hourly 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 BAMEX 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. The data cover the period from 20
May to 07 July 2003. The data were acquired via the UNIDATA Local Data Manager
(LDM).
