GCIP/EAOP-99 Surface: Hourly Surface Meteorological Composite. Version 1.0

The GCIP/EAOP-99 Hourly Surface Composite contains data from several networks (i.e., Automated Surface Observing System, Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, National Climatic Data Center DATSAV3, University of Kentucky Research Farms, North Carolina Agricultural Research Service Weather and Climate Network, Illinois Climate Network, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division, Natural Resource Conservation Service Soil Moisture Soil Temperature Network, USDA/ARS North Appalachian Experimental Watershed Data (Coshocton), W.K. Kellogg Biological Station, NOAA Profiler Network, Purdue Automated Agricultural Weather Station Network, and the Tennessee Valley Authority) for the EAOP 99 LSA-East domain. Data from these sources were merged and quality controlled to form this Surface Composite. These data files are available as ASCII text files and netCDF data files.
