Abstract:
The U.S. Air Force collated various upper air and surface data into a standard data format that they called "DATSAV". The observations cover the period from 1973 to 1980.
Temporal Range:
1973-01 to 1980-12
Variables:
| Atmospheric Pressure Measurements | Geopotential Height | Humidity | Surface Pressure |
| Surface Winds | Upper Air Temperature | Upper Level Winds |
Vertical Levels:
| Ground or water surface | 1000 mbar | 850 mbar | 700 mbar |
| 600 mbar | 500 mbar | 400 mbar | 300 mbar |
| 250 mbar | 200 mbar | 150 mbar | 100 mbar |
| 70 mbar | 50 mbar | 30 mbar | 20 mbar |

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.
