Description

The Surface Weather Observations (SWO) library is the largest in the Environmental Document Access and Display System (EDADS). It contains hourly weather data from over 700 U.S. locations. There are some forms from before 1920, but almost all are from the late 1920s to the present year. These parameters include ceiling, visibility, weather, sea level pressure, temperature, dewpoint, winds, and altimeter.
