Integrated Surface Data - Lite

Format Documentation



June 20, 2006

Introduction


The ISD-Lite data contain a fixed-width formatted subset of the complete Integrated Surface Data (ISD) for a select number of observational elements.  The data are typically stored in a single file corresponding to the ISD data, i.e. one file per station per year.  For more information on the ISD-Lite format, consult the ISD-Lite technical document.


Data Format


Field 1: Pos 1-4, Length 4: Observation Year

Year of observation, rounded to nearest whole hour


Field 2: Pos 6-7, Length 2: Observation Month

Month of observation, rounded to nearest whole hour


Field 3: Pos 9-11, Length 2: Observation Day

Day of observation, rounded to nearest whole hour


Field 4: Pos 12-13, Length 2: Observation Hour

Hour of observation, rounded to nearest whole hour
