Abstract
The global surface climate values data contain monthly and annual surface climatological averages and met element check values for surface CLIMAT reports. The message contains measurements meteorological parameters; the count of months of actual data, mean, standard deviation, median, and skewness of the record are all given for a specified parameter. The data span a maximum of 30 year period ending in December 1990 and December 2000.
