The ASOS Program is a joint effort of the National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Department of Defense (DOD). The ASOS network was designed to support weather forecast activities and aviation operations and, at the same time, support the needs of the meteorological, hydrological, and climatological research communities. The ASOS 5-minute data were collected and processed by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). To make a wide range of high temporal resolution climatic data available to researchers and the broader public and private sectors.

The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information acquired and processed the station data from the ASOS network within one day of the observations. The data processing steps included data acquisition, basic quality assurance, assimilation into monthly station files, and data archive and access. The basic quality assurance included identifying improper record formats, incorrectly transmitted station IDs, and determining if record lengths and observing dates and times are within acceptable bounds. Additional data for the previous month may have been processed and made available during the first to third day of the following month, and on rare occasions later in that month, due to technical issues that delayed the processing of data in real-time. repository NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235.
