Barometric Pressure Observations from a Fixed Platform in 1981

NOAA_NCEI Accession 8200219 contains barometric pressure and other environmental data collected from a fixed platform. The dataset covers a one-year period from January 1, 1981, to January 1, 1982. It was archived by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Centers for Environmental Information.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal patterns in barometric_pressure to study storm events or seasonal atmospheric changes.
• Correlate recorded environmental parameters with historical weather events for the 1981 period.
• Use the fixed_platform location data as a reference point for validating satellite-derived atmospheric measurements.
• Model local air-sea interaction processes using the time-series of pressure and other concurrent observations.

Strengths

• Data covers a continuous, defined one-year time range from 1981-01-01 to 1982-01-01.
• Sourced from NOAA_NCEI, a authoritative repository for environmental data.

Limitations

• Exact row count, column names, and measurement frequency are unknown.
• Data is temporally stale, with collection ending over 40 years ago.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single, unspecified fixed platform location.
