GTS Surface Synoptic Observations
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/85.026

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 BAMEX 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 20 May to 07 July 2003. The data were acquired via the UNIDATA
Local Data Manager (LDM).
