Data from available instruments are reported as standard meteorological quantities (pressure, temperature, moisture, wind velocity) in SI units at their individual locations (latitude, longitude, height). Data were collected in support of NOAA/HRD's hurricane field program and National Hurricane Center's operational TC reconnaissance requirements.
