Extended Edited Synoptic Cloud Reports Archive (EECRA) from Ships and Land Stations Over the Globe

EECRA contains surface synoptic weather reports for the entire globe, gathered from various available data sets. The reports were processed, edited, and rewritten to provide a single dataset of individual observations of clouds, spanning the 46 years 1952-1997, and later augmented with data for 11 years 1998-2008, for ship data and the 26 years 1971-1996 for land station data. In addition to the cloud portion of the synoptic report, each edited report also includes the associated pressure, present weather, wind, air temperature, and dew point (and sea surface temperature over oceans).

EECRA数据集汇聚了全球范围内的表面天气概览报告，这些报告源自于多种可获得的数据集。经过处理、编辑和重写，该数据集形成了一套独立云观测记录，时间跨度为1952年至1997年共46年，并在后期补充了1998年至2008年共11年的船舶数据以及1971年至1996年共26年的陆地站点数据。除了天气概览报告中的云层部分，每份编辑后的报告还包含了相应的气压、当前天气状况、风速、空气温度、露点（以及海洋表面的水温）。
