This NCEP ADP SYNOP (surface synoptic observation) dataset is based on measurements from manned and automated weather stations around the globe. Currently, about 7000 stations are included in this global dataset; see a subset of the stations around the North Sea in figure. The purpose of the SYNOP data is to provide input to weather reports and numerical models. However, some stations may also provide useful for the wind energy industry as reports of wind speed, wind directions and temperature are available. As in the case of a METAR_Data METAR dataset, when applying this dataset, please consider the following issues:
