Abstract

This dataset contains the Great Plains Region Cooperative Agricultural Weather Network (AgriMet), Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS), National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) Surface Climatic Database (DATSAV3), Montana Department of Transportation (MDT of MTDOT) Remote Weather Informational System (RWIS), and Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) Roadway Weather Informational System (RWIS) "Special" observation surface data in QC format. Data for the GEWEX Continental-Scale International Project (GCIP) Large Scale Area-North West (LSA-NW) Enhanced Annual Observing Period (EAOP) 1999 domain and time periods are contained within this dataset. The AgriMet, ASOS, DATSAV3, MTDOT_RWIS, and WYDOT_RWIS "Nominal" hourly surface data for the GCIP LSA-NW EAOP 1999 domain and time period are included in the GCIP LSA-NW EAOP 1999 Hourly Surface Composite. No additional QC was performed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research/Joint Office for Science Support (UCAR/JOSS).
