Notes:
a) Data type:
K110: standard pressure level data
b) Year, month, day, hour and minute values are local observation times at Syowa Station (UTC + 3 hr).
c) Cloud (N, Nh, CL, h, CM, CH):
N: Total cloud cover (eighths, "X", "x" or "/":unknown)
Nh: Amount of low cloud, or middle cloud if no low cloud present (eighths, "X", "x" or "/":unknown)
CL: Low cloud type (WMO international code, "X", "x" or "/":unknown)
h: Cloud base of lowest cloud (*100m, "X", "x" or "/":unknown)
CM: Middle cloud type (WMO international code, "X", "x" or "/":unknown)
CH: High cloud type (WMO international code, "X", "x" or "/":unknown)
d) Weather (ww): WMO international code
e) Wind direction is clockwise from true north (defined as 360 deg.; '0' represents "calm"),
e.g., '90' indicates 90 degrees (east).
f) Temperature and wind measurements have been duly corrected for solar radiation and the earth's curvature, respectively.
g) -32766 and -32767: Missing data
