Pre-1947 Greenwich Mean Noon Observations

Data provided by  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Effort of the US Weather Bureau to collect observations from ships at precisely the same time all across the globe. The goal was to present a complete picture of pressure, wind and weather covering the entire ocean once per day. The daily forms allow entry of the single observation.
