This is version 1.0.4.2015p of HadISD (27 April 2015) the Met Office Hadley Centre's global sub-daily data, extending v1.0.3.2014f to span 1/1/1973 - 31/12/2015.
The quality controlled variables in this dataset are: temperature, dewpoint temperature, sea-level pressure, wind speed and direction, cloud data (total, low, mid and high level). Past significant weather and precipitation data are also included, but have not been quality controlled, their quality and completness cannot be guaranteed. Quality control flags and data values which have been removed in the quality control process are also provided along with a station listing with IDs, names and location information. The data are provided as one NetCDF file per station.
The data are provided as one NetCDF file per station. Files in the station_data folder station data files have the format "station_code"_HadISD_HadOBS_19310101-20151231_v1-0-4-2015p.nc. The station codes can be found under the docs tab or on the archive beside the station_data folder. The station codes file has five columns as follows: 1) station code, 2) station name 3) station latitude 4) station longitude 5) station height.
