WEATHER DATA

[Page 1]


The USAF Environmental Technical Applications Center (ETAC) is providing weather data for the ARPA Network. Ultimately there will be ten years of high quality surface and upper air weather observations, as well as hemispheric grid point analyses. The observations are generated by approximately 5000 surface and 1200 upper air stations, distributed all over the world. The data is to be available via the datacomputer, a specialized node of the ARPA Network that is dedicated to the management of shared data bases and designed to accommodate large ones. The datacomputer, currently under development by Computer Corporation of America (CCA), will provide services* for the use of these data bases, including the weather data. A working group has been formed to coordinate its implementation with datacomputer, plan testing, project of technical issues associated with design the data base, the development of the uses, and resolve a variety its size and complexity.
