NOAA REGIONAL SURFACE DATA (FIFE)

The FIFE Staff Science effort included the acquisition, processing and archiving of meteorological parameters of the atmosphere above the FIFE study area, which would furnish surface meteorological parameters from hourly reporting network for the FIFE area, and provide input data and/or verification data for numerical simulation models. Though the measurements presented in this data set were not taken precisely at the FIFE site, it is hypothesized that they present a representative horizontal cross-section of meteorological variables and sky conditions in and around the site. It is also realized that many of the variables presented in this data set are somewhat subjective and dependent on the skill (and biases) of the observer, such as estimates of cloud amount and height. The NOAA regional surface reports were extracted from the NOAA operational analysis system and transmitted to the FIS. This contained hourly surface meteorological data from selected stations as received from NESDIS for FIFE.

FIFE（FIFE）工作人员科学项目涵盖了FIFE研究区域上空大气气象参数的采集、处理与归档工作，旨在通过FIFE区域的逐时观测网络获取该区域的地表气象参数，并为数值模拟模型提供输入数据与验证数据。尽管本数据集收录的观测数据并非完全在FIFE研究场地内采集，但我们推定这些数据能够代表该场地及其周边区域气象变量与天空状况的典型水平分布特征。同时需注意，本数据集收录的诸多变量存在一定主观性，其结果依赖于观测者的专业能力（及观测偏差），例如云量与云高的估算值。美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）区域地表报告数据从NOAA业务分析系统中提取，并传输至FIS（FIS）。该数据集包含了从国家环境卫星数据与信息服务中心（NESDIS）获取的、用于FIFE项目的选定站点逐时地表气象数据。
