Abstract

Hourly synoptic in-situ observations are collected from operational monitoring stations in the North Sea. The data are subjected to quality control and, if needed, adjusted. Observed variables include temperature, clouds and visibility, air pressure, and wind. The information is decoded from WMO reports and provided in ASCII text format.
