Data Format: NCEP_ON124

Kuwait Oil Fires Archive, 1991

Description:
This is data extracted from various NCEP observed and analyzed datasets and then put in our RPTOUT format to support the Kuwait Oil Fires studies.
Dataset ID: d620000
NCEP_ON124 NCEP_ON29 NCEP_ON84

NCEP ADP Operational Global Surface Observations, February 1975 - February 2007

Description:
These NCEP ADP operational global synoptic surface data reports were collected from the GTS during time slots centered on the 6-hourly analysis times of their global and regional models. Two types of data were collected and the reports usually include pressure, temperature, dew point depression, wind direction and speed. NCEP also decoded the precipitation data, but only for the U.S. and Canada. The two types are: 1) data from land stations, including SYNOP, METAR, and beginning in the mi…

There are 1654 public datasets in the GDEX archive. The GDEX dataset search and discovery allows you to search for datasets by keyword and filter by facets. Facet descriptions are given below, including the number of datasets (in parentheses) in each.

Keywords (1654)
Keywords are high-level groupings of parameters describing a topic or subtopic - e.g. Atmosphere (topic), Clouds (subtopic of Atmosphere).
Variable (1654)
A variable or parameter is the quantity that is measured, derived, or computed - e.g. the data value.
Platform (1654)
The platform is the entity or type of entity that acquired or computed the data (e.g. aircraft, land station, reanalysis model).
Spatial Resolution (383)
This refers to the horizontal distance between discrete gridpoints of a model product, reporting stations in a network, measurements of a moving platform, etc.
Time Resolution (246)
This refers to the distance in time between discrete observation measurements, model product valid times, etc.
Data Format (1652)
This refers to the structure of the bitstream used to encapsulate the data values in a record or file - e.g ASCII, netCDF, etc.
Data Type (1654)
This refers to the type of data values - e.g. grid (interpolated or computed gridpoint data), platform observation (in-situ and remotely sensed measurements), etc.
Project / Experiment (881)
This is the scientific project, field campaign, or experiment that acquired the data.
Supports Project (51)
This refers to data that were acquired to support a scientific project or experiment (e.g. GATE) or that can be used as ingest for a project (e.g. WRF).
Location (114)
This is the name of the (usually geographic) location or region for which the data are valid.
