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 Recalibrated 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, 2010 the SuperPack list consists of circa 8000 data sets. As additional datasets are sourced and decoded they will be added to the SuperPack and updates of the stationary inventory provided.

FAQS

(1) How is the data delivered?

The Speedwell web site allows the user to 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 is not 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?

SuperPack provides over 1000 cleaned data sets and feeds. 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.
