US Air Force Data Processing Manuals
EV2 - USAF TDF-13 Metadata
Data Processing Reference manual for United States Air Force surface stations, circa 1960s. TDF-13 stands for Tape Deck Format number 13, the format in which the data were arranged on the magnetic tapes sent to NCDC from the Air Force. While the data on the tapes have long since been migrated, these documents still contain station metadata, including period of record, for all Air Force stations for which data were included.

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. |
