Global Upper Air CARDS TDF-56 (DSI-6311)

Entry ID: gov.noaa.ncdc.C00554

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Global Upper Air CARDS TDF-56 is historical digital data set DSI-6311, archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). This is meteorological upper air data. Data is global for the period 1946-75, although the period of record varies greatly by station. DSI-6311 was included in the larger Comprehensive Aerological Data Set (CARDS) Upper Air data set, DSI-6305, which was quality controlled as ...

Purpose: To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public.
