Abstract:
The Hadley Centre at the U.K. Met Office has created a global sub-daily dataset of several station-observed climatological variables which is derived from and is a subset of the NCDC's Integrated Surface Database. Stations were selected for inclusion into the dataset based on length of the data reporting period and the frequency with which observations were reported. The data were then passed through a suite of automated quality-control tests to remove bad data. See the HadISD web page for more details and access to previous versions of the dataset.
