gov.noaa.ncdc:C00001 National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Unknown tabular digital data http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov Surface Marine Observations (DSI-1100) is a historical digital data set in archive at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The data are from all over the world, from 1855 through 1982. The data set was derived from a variety of punched card decks in different formats, including some from foreign meteorological services. Observations were obtained from ship logs, ship weather reporting forms, published ship observations, automatic observing buoys, and teletype reports. Major parameters are wind, visibility, weather, temperature (air and sea), sky condition, sea and swell wave data, and pressure data. To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. data set C00001 ANEMOMETERS BAROMETERS DRIFTING BUOYS PRESSURE SENSORS TEMPERATURE PROBES TEMPERATURE SENSORS THERMOMETERS VISUAL OBSERVATIONS WAVE HEIGHT GAUGES WIND VANES BUOYS SHIPS National Climatic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce 18550101 19821231 Ground Condition Complete As Needed -180.0 180.0 90.0 -90.0 ISO 19115 Topic Category climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 004 oceans 014 DIF Discipline Keyword Thesaurus Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Meteorology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Climatology Earth Sciences > Atmosphere > Weather Earth Sciences > Ocean > Oceanography GCMD Sciences Keyword Valids EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > AIR QUALITY > VISIBILITY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY > LIGHTNING EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE > SEA LEVEL PRESSURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE > SURFACE AIR TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > SURFACE WINDS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS > CLOUD AMOUNT/FREQUENCY EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > CLOUDS > CLOUD TYPES EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > PRECIPITATION EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN TEMPERATURE > SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES > SWELLS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES > WAVE HEIGHT EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES > SEA STATE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WAVES EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WINDS > SURFACE WINDS GCMD Location Valids GLOBAL OCEAN GCMD Location Valids TROPOSPHERE SEA SURFACE SHIPS ANEMOMETERS SHIPS BAROMETERS BUOYS DRIFTING BUOYS SHIPS PRESSURE SENSORS SHIPS TEMPERATURE PROBES SHIPS TEMPERATURE SENSORS SHIPS THERMOMETERS SHIPS VISUAL OBSERVATIONS SHIPS WAVE HEIGHT GAUGES SHIPS WIND VANES BUOYS ANEMOMETERS BUOYS BAROMETERS BUOYS PRESSURE SENSORS BUOYS TEMPERATURE SENSORS BUOYS THERMOMETERS BUOYS WIND VANES 1 None None Not provided Unknown Completeness information not available.
