Moving Upper Air Guide

Column 1:

Unique Inventory ID

Column 2:

Original Data Owner - Source Archive

Column 3:

Vehicle Type - Type of Vehicle. Aircraft, Airship, Balloon etc...

Column 4:

Name - Name of the vehicle or any original ID the record was given.

Column 5-6:

Start & End - Start and end day of the record with format YYYY-MM-DD, enter the very first and last day, do not worry about gaps.
Note: In exemple file date is separe in columns, its a option also available if prefered.

Column 7:

Region - The location(s) where observations were taken.

Column 8:

Time Resolution - Number of Observations per day. For example, "24, 5, 3", would indicate hourly observations and 5 and 3 times-daily observations.
If the number varies, enter the highest frequency value.

Column 9:

Estimated Station Days - Estimate of the number of days for which data are available.

Column 10:

Vertical Coordinates - The vertical co-ordinates of the data, either altitude, pressure, geopotential height or a combination of these.

Columns 11-18:

Climate Variables - Indicates with a (T)rue or (F)alse whether the record contains information for a particular climate variable.

Ws - wind speed
Wd - wind direction
Ps - air pressure
psT - temperature of the thermometer next to the barometer
aT - air temperature
rH - relative humidity
sH - specific humidity
aH - absolute humidity

Column 19:

Comments - any important comments go here, gaps, known pressure adjustments, suspected inhomogeneities etc...

Column 20-25:

Level - The stage of rescue/digitisation. Formatting is six digits, (T)rue or (F)alse.

Stage 0 - Physical copy of the data found, no imaging or digitisation done.
Stage 1 - Data have been imaged.
Stage 2 - Data have been digitised
Stage 3 - Data have undergone initial/basic quality control to check that values make physical sense.
Stage 4 - Rigourous quality control done, e.g. do newly digitised daily data = existing published monthly values?
Stage 5 - Data has been subjected to homogeneity tests and has been adjusted if neccessary.

Column 26:

Link to file - Online access to data if available.
