Data Availability
A
detailed station inventory is provided with SuperPack. Availability of meteorological
observations can be broken down by a number of criteria including temporal duration
(hourly data, daily data), variable observed (temperature, precipitation,..), data
quality (cleaned, raw, Recalibrated), length of history, type of observation (Climate,
Synoptic, METAR), percentage of data available and global co-ordinates.
The SuperPack inventory:
- Station attribute information (station name, WMO #, National ID #,
Speedwell ID, latitude, longitude, elevation)
- Data source by data type (i.e. historical climate / synoptic data,
ongoing climate / synoptic data)
- Breakdown of statistics by variable
-
Begin date of raw data, begin date of cleaned data
- Percentage raw data missing by period
- Availability of Rec
- alibrated data Indication of the temporal
duration of the data (hourly, daily)
The SuperPack is intended to be a “living product” that is constantly
growing and being updated. As of July 1, 2009 the SuperPack list consists of circa
4000 data sets. As additional datasets are sourced and decoded they will be added
to the SuperPack and updates of the stationary inventory provided.
Important Questions
(1). How is the data delivered?
The Speedwell web site, interrogate the data and download daily data. Data feeds
and hourly data will be made available per request via FTP. The standard SuperPack
offering will provide historical datasets and feeds via FTP in the standard Speedwell
format. Additional delivery mechanisms and formats may be available at an additional
cost.
(2). What if a station I need isn’t in the SuperPack?
This depends upon the nature of the data... Firstly, the SuperPack station inventory
may not yet fully reflect our available archive. This is particularly the case for
hourly data in the USA where many hundreds of additional sites are available but
not yet listed. For other datasets that are accessible to us (eg Synoptic data)
these can be provided on a reasonable-request-basis free-of-charge and will then
become part of the SuperPack inventory. Datasets that require substantial processing
or the payment of fees or royalties to NMS can be purchased as add-ons to the subscription.
(3). What if I need cleaned data? (for situations where the data is currently raw)
Subject to data quality and the availability of proxy stations, cleaned data will
be provided on a reasonable- request-basis free-of-charge and will then become part
of the SuperPack inventory. Datasets that require substantial processing can be
purchased as add-ons to the subscription.
Web Tools
Subscribers to the SuperPack have unlimited access to a number of data tools available
through, www.SpeedwellWeather.com.
