When data arrives from the SRRS and GTS data feeds, processing is performed upon the data to separate out certain headers and data types. NOAA-SWO is a result of this parsing and merging process, with the addition of manually corrected Microcomputer-Aided Paperless Surface Observations (MAPSO). The data contained in this file is considered raw data. Derivatives of it are used in numerous NCEI data products. completed NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact daily https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/image/0813ccaf-1cc5-42ab-8c63-4703b818f510 NOAA Logo PNG Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.

Basic quality control to confirm that data is complete, within valid ranges, and not corrupt are performed. In addition, this file contains new or corrected data that has been submitted manually (i.e., phone, fax, email, etc.). These include Surface Weather Corrections (Form B-14) and MAPSO data. (MAPSO corrections are observational corrections that are sent via email, phone, fax, or regular mail to NCEI; only about 6 Pacific Southwest stations still use this format). processor The NOAA GTS data stream provides an almost continuous supply of observed climate data from automated and manual weather stations. Only certain headers are parsed and included in the NOAA-SWO dataset.
