Pre-1947 Greenwich Mean Noon Observations
EV2 - Pre-1947 Greenwich Mean Noon Marine Observations
Effort of the US Weather Bureau to collect observations from ships at precisely the same time all across the globe. The goal was to present a complete picture of pressure, wind and weather covering the entire ocean once per day. The daily forms allow entry of the single observation.

Purpose | In the late 1990s NCDC realized the need to host digital images of weather and climate records on the internet. As a result, EV2 was developed as a key system for providing access to the millions of original source data images in the NCDC archives. With its upload and index capability, EV2 also enables the continuation of NCDC's commitment to make more of its weather and climate data available online so that users across the world can view climate and weather records held in the NCDC archives. |
