Forest Oil Weather Station Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/88.061

Summary
This data set consists of a single file of hourly resolution surface
meteorological and oceanographic data from the Forest Oil
(http://www.forestoil.com) fixed structure weather station. The station is
mainted by ESSI Corporation (http:www.essicorp.com) and is located off the
Texas coast from Galveston. These data were retrieved from the National Data
Buoy Center (NDBC). This data set covers the period from 1 January to 29
August 2005. The data are in space delimited ASCII format. NCAR/EOL has
conducted no additional quality control of these data.
