Summary
Abstract: The Historical surface weather observation database (HSWOD) is a digital dataset archived by the National Climatic Data center (NCDC). This database has been developed by the Air Force Combat Climatology Center in Asheville, NC and serves as a replacement for the DATSAV3 formatted DSI-9956 (C00442). This new database is a CSV formatted database that is easily viewed in spreadsheets and is easily ... View entire text

Purpose: Support DoD projects.

Quality The data are provisional and subject to change as model improvements are implemented and new input data sets become available. Due to the fact that forcing data for Greenland are unreliable and the lack of a glacier/ice sheet model, snow water equivalent accumulates indefinitely in Greenland and a few other Arctic points. Therefore it is highly recommended that Greenland and other points with abnormally large snow water equivalent values be masked out when performing global analyses.
