    • United States Air Force 14th Weather Squadron Surface Weather Observations (Restricted)

    Metadata Updated: September 19, 2023

    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.

    Lineage Through various domestic and international networks, the U.S. Air Force collects weather observations for climate research. This data is then shared with NOAA, where a selected subset of the data is merged into Integrated Surface Database (ISD) for public use. In June of 2019, two versions of the file are now sent to the archive. They follow different ingest paths and will be sent to the archive as separate versions running in parallel. The new version, Version 03.01, will have additional data in the remarks field and a new way of packing files (compression within the tar file, rather than the compression on the tar file itself).
