These data were keyed from images of the original Surface Airways Observation forms by students at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington as part of a class project. The data on the observation forms were keyed as recorded on the form. These data were collected in the standard course of observation by the National Weather Service at the two airport stations. Observations were keyed by a class of students at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington as a semester project to understand weather observing practices and data. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0248911 Preview graphic PNG 0248911 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2022-02-11 publication AIR TEMPERATURE - DRY BULB cloud amount/frequency cloud height dew point PRECIPITATION AMOUNT VISIBILITY WEATHER WIND DIRECTION WIND SPEED theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS barometer ceilometer rain gauge thermometer instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS in situ theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS climatology theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 23 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

Updates are performed as needed to maintain currentness. NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian barometer barometer Barometers are instruments for measuring atmospheric pressure; two types include mercury barometers and aneroid barometers. ceilometer ceilometer Ceilometers are devices using a laser or other light source to determine the height of a cloud base. An optical ceilometer uses triangulation to determine the height of a spot of light projected onto the base of the cloud; a laser ceilometer determines the height by measuring the time required for a pulse of light to be scattered back from the cloud base. rain gauge rain gauge A device to measure the amount of liquid precipitation The definition of liquid precipitation is any form of water falling from the sky as rain. Rain gauge measures the amount of liquid precipitation. thermometer thermometer generic thermometer or reversing thermometer use thermometer when temperature is a data type, but the exact instrument used to measure temperature is unknown
