NCEP ADP Eta subset Surface Observations, daily Apr 1998 - Dec 2003

The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) decodes, on an operational basis, upper air data from the Global Telecommunications System (GTS) and applies some quality controls. See Observational Data Processing at NCEP. This dataset has the data which NCEP puts in their BUFR format. Software which extracts data from the BUFR file, and places it in a basic text file can be found in BUFRdecode_ADPsfc.tar. This is a synoptically sorted dataset. more...

When stations fail to report over the GTS, or there are other data problems, we can not repair the information.
