Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) 1-min Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/92.006

Summary
This data set is ancillary data for the Terrain-induced Rotor Experiment
(T-REX). This data set contains 1-minute resolution surface meteorological
data from the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) stations located
across the United States, including Guam. These data were retrieved from the
National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) for the T-Rex period (March and April
2006). Each of the two types of files, om1 and om2, consists of a compressed
tar file containing one month of data, with individual files for each station
in the United States. The data are in ASCII format.
