Access Data Collected for HMT Research

As a legacy of previous HMT-funded research and field campaigns, the NOAA ESRL Physical Sciences Division (PSD) maintains a comprehensive data web site that includes:

PSD Real-Time Observations

Sites are mainly in the western U.S. The user may scroll through the list of sites to see what measurements are available at each site. Depending on the site, measurements may include:

  • Radar wind profiler data (wind profiles, snow level, SNR, virtual temperature)
  • Surface meteorology (may include temperature, relative humidity, wet-bulb temperature, precipitation, soil moisture, or integrated water vapor)
  • FMCW radar (snow level, SNR, bright band)
  • Water Vapor Flux Tool (a combination of wind profilers, integrated water vapor, integrated water vapor flux, and precipitation measurements and forecasts)
  • Both graphics and text files are available
