Global Historical Climatology Network-hourly (GHCNh), Version 1
Global Historical Climatology Network-hourly (GHCNh) is a multisource collection of weather station (meteorological) observations from the late 18th Century to the present from fixed weather stations over land across the globe. It is replacing the Integrated Surface Dataset (ISD) and will be used to generate the Local Climatological Data and Global Summary of the Day datasets. It is constructed to align with GHCN daily. Version 1 contains approximately 110 separate data sources and will be updated daily using the United States Air Force and NOAA Surface Weather Observations data streams. GHCNh v1 contains the following variables: altimeter; dew_point_temperature; precipitation; pressure_3hr_change; pres_wx_AU1; pres_wx_AU2; pres_wx_AU3; pres_wx_AW1; pres_wx_AW2; pres_wx_AW3; pres_wx_MW1; pres_wx_MW2; pres_wx_MW3; relative_humidity; Remarks; sea_level_pressure; sky_cov_baseht_1; sky_cov_baseht_2; sky_cov_baseht_3; sky_cover_1; sky_cover_2; sky_cover_3; station_level_pressure; dry bulb temperature; visibility; wet_bulb_temperature; wind_direction; wind_gust; wind_speed.
