Abstract:
This Global Atmospheric Research Programme (GARP) dataset
was compiled from observations received operationally at the
National Meteorological Center (NMC) and the Environmental
Technical Applications Center (ETAC), from teletype-punched
cards, and from special mailed in reports. Data for June 1970
include global upper air and surface observations from land
stations, global surface marine data, and global aircraft
reports.

Metadata Record:
Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
