Surface Observations
Over the past twenty years we have focused on the aquisition, processing, and cleaning of datasets to build a global database of high quality surface observations. These efforts have culminated in a database consisting of 100,000+ station, multiple variables, a range of temporal observations, and variable record lengths.
