Abstract
The global CLIMAT upper air standard isobaric surface check values data describe air pressure, normal monthly mean air temperature, dew point, u-component of vector wind and v-component of vector wind, as well as standard deviations of these elements. The measurements are recorded by observation stations worldwide and transmitted within CLM (CLIMAT) Upper Air Normal messages. The data spans from 1971 to 1990.

| Data lineage: |
Data collated by the Met Office and archived in the Met Office's MIDAS database. Data are extracted from a sub-set of available tables and delivered to BADC approximately on a monthly basis as flat files. |
| Data Quality: |
Data undergo quality checking by the Met Office. State of the data in the quality control process and level of data quality are indicated using version numbers and quality control flagging with the data. See documentation about how to use the quality control flagging and version numbers.
There are also some known data from commissioning trials in the data, which are given a src_id of 99999. These should be ignored by the user.
