Digitized data taken from original weather observations taken at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station, Florida. Elements recorded are wind speed and direction, temperature, dew point, pressure, and possibly more. Observations were taken every three hours. Records are contained in standard 80 character record lengths. The reference manual to indicate the individual fields and their lengths has not been found. It is possible to identify most of the fields, but some, particularly later in the record, have not been identified.

Cape Kennedy Thunderstorms Data contains an account of all thunderstorms reported in weather observations taken at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station, Florida between 1957 and 1972. Elements recorded include date and time thunderstorm began and ended, quadrant(s) in which the storm was first and last observed, direction of movement, intensity, frequency of thunder, presence of more than one storm, lightning characteristics and intensity. Wind speed (sustained and gusts), wind shift, pressure tendency, and minimum ceiling hight and visibility are also included.

This Summary of the Day data file contains daily selected elements of observations recorded by certified observers. The stations were located in the U.S. and were operated by the United States Weather Bureau (later the National Weather Service) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This data file spans 1945-1948. These first and second order stations were usually fully instrumented and therefore recorded a complete range of meteorological parameters. The observations were generally recorded for the 24-HR period midnight to midnight.

The dataset consists primarily of U.S. surface airways observations (SAO) data beginning in 1965 and extending through 1981.

Note that a few stations have already had certain years within this 1965-81 period re-keyed as hourly. For these stations, only a subset of the period was keyed. In addition, other stations did not have data keyed at all during this period, or during the periods immediately before or after the 1965-81 range. These stations data have been keyed to as thoroughly as possible complete their entire period of record back to July, 1948.

The Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) provides numerical guidance and products in support of a wide range of Navy oceanographic and atmospheric requirements. The forecast model component of NOGAPS is the heart of the system and represents a multiyear development effort by the scientists of the Naval Oceanographic and Atmospheric Research Laboratory's Atmospheric Directorate. Six-hourly data are available in GRIB1 format on regularly-spaced latitude-longitude grids at 1-degree and one-half-degree resolutions.

The NCEP-DOE Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP-II) reanalysis is a follow-on project to the "50-year" (1948-present) NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis Project. NCEP-DOE AMIP-II reanalysis covers the "20-year" satellite period of 1979 to the present and uses an updated forecast model, updated data assimilation system, improved diagnostic outputs, and fixes for the known processing problems of the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis.

Summary of the Day Observations - Misawa Japan is a collection of data summarizing daily weather observations taken at Misawa Naval Air Station, near the north end of the main Japanese island of Honshu. It consists of a single ASCII file containing the period of record 9 April 1948 through 31 December 1971. Elements include daily rainfall, snowfall, snow depth, snow water equivalent, humidity, maximum/minimum/mean temperature, peak wind gust/direction/time, and number of hours in which fog was present.

This collection consists of data that has been quality controlled through both an automated and manual QC processes. The dataset consisted of summary of the day data from approximately 500 First Order stations (primarily major airports) in the U.S. and its possessions. Included variables are: daily summaries of hourly data for temperature, precipitation, pressure, observed weather, and wind speed and direction.

NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed a Columbia River Estuary Operational Forecast System (CREOFS). CREOFS is based on a three-dimensional SELFE model that runs on NOAA's High Performance Computers (HPC).

NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) has developed a Cook Inlet Operational Forecast System (CIOFS). CIOFS is based on a three-dimensional ROMS model that runs on NOAA's High Performance Computers (HPC). CIOFS provides water level, currents, water temperature and salinity nowcast and forecast guidance as well as interpolated winds from National Weather Service products. CIOFS runs four times per day and generates 6-hour nowcasts and 48-hour forecast guidance.
