The processing routines were written and implemented by Vijay Suchdeo, NVI, Inc., working under the direction of Dr. Christopher A. Shuman, Code 971 NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. These files were processed during mid-2002; reprocessing of the three hour files may change some values. Contact Christopher.A.Shuman@nasa.gov for further information. Format of files by column: Note: All "Wt" columns are the number of observations that day that went into the average. Missing data is represented with the number 444.00 Date (MMDDYYYY) Temperature (Degrees C) Pressure (hPa) U-Component of Wind (m/s) V-Component of Wind (m/s) Humidity (%) Temperature Difference (Degrees C) Where MM is the month, DD is the day, and YYYY is the year.
