Description
The 14th Weather Squadron of the U.S. Air Force (USAF-14WS) creates a comprehensive dataset of weather observations; these observations stem from hundreds of domestic and international networks on a daily basis. Observations cover a broad spectrum of information that are incorporated into the NOAA Integrated Surface Data product. This dataset includes: cloud height and quality observations; extreme temperature; wind observations; ocean observations covering temperature, salinity, current speed and direction, waves, ice data; visibility; air temperature; precipitation; snow depth; atmospheric pressure; station metadata; etc. Up-to-date station metadata is included with every data submission, though not all stations described are included with every data submission. This is one of the primary source feeds into the NOAA Integrated Surface Data product.
