National University of Ireland Maynooth author Orcutt, Karen NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information author Cunningham, Sam NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information author Risavi, Nicholas NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information author Global Historical Climatology Network-hourly (GHCNh) is a multisource collection of weather station (meteorological) observations from the late 18th Century to the present from fixed weather stations over land across the globe. It is replacing the Integrated Surface Dataset (ISD) and will be used to generate the Local Climatological Data and Global Summary of the Day datasets. It is constructed to align with GHCN daily. Version 1 contains approximately 110 separate data sources and will be updated daily using the United States Air Force and NOAA Surface Weather Observations data streams. GHCNh v1 contains the following variables: altimeter; dew_point_temperature; precipitation; pressure_3hr_change; pres_wx_AU1; pres_wx_AU2; pres_wx_AU3; pres_wx_AW1; pres_wx_AW2; pres_wx_AW3; pres_wx_MW1; pres_wx_MW2; pres_wx_MW3; relative_humidity; Remarks; sea_level_pressure; sky_cov_baseht_1; sky_cov_baseht_2; sky_cov_baseht_3; sky_cover_1; sky_cover_2; sky_cover_3; station_level_pressure; dry bulb temperature; visibility; wet_bulb_temperature; wind_direction; wind_gust; wind_speed. These data are available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis GHCNh Group Account NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.ghcnh@noaa.gov pointOfContact daily https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/themes/custom/ncei/logo.svg NOAA logo SVG Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure Earth Science > Climate Indicators > Atmospheric/Ocean Indicators > Humidity Indices Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Sea Level Pressure Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Surface Winds > Wind Speed/Wind Direction 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.
