This National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) map service displays hourly global climate station summaries. The Global Hourly Summaries are simple indicators of observational normals which include climatic data summarizations and frequency distributions. These typically are statistical analyses of station data over 5-, 10-, 20-, 30-year or longer time periods. The summaries are computed from the global surface hourly dataset. The summaries are computed from the global surface hourly dataset. This dataset totaling over 350 gigabytes is comprised of 40 different types of weather observations with 20,000 stations worldwide. The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) and the U.S. Navy have developed these value added products in the form of hourly summaries from many of these observations. These data are a subset of the Integrated Surface Hourly dataset (DSI-3505) (C00532).Data currency: Current NOAA map service.For additional information, please contact the NCDC at ncdc.orders@noaa.gov.___________________________Other Health Datapalooza focused content that may interest you: Health Datapalooza Health Datapalooza
