Hungarian Upper Air Meteorological Observations 1962-1990

1962-1990 upper air meteorological data for Hungary, received from the Hungarian Meteorological Service. The dataset contains parameters like pressure, temperature, humidity, and wind from 2 reporting stations. It is archived as DSI-6320 at the National Climatic Data Center.

Use Cases

• Analyze long-term trends in upper-air temperature and pressure over Hungary.
• Study historical wind speed and direction patterns for atmospheric dynamics research.
• Use relative humidity records to investigate past moisture profiles in the region.
• Compare data from the 2 reporting stations for spatial consistency checks.

Strengths

• 29 years of historical data from 1962 to 1990.
• Includes core meteorological parameters: pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and direction.

Limitations

• Dataset DSI-6320 was not quality controlled by the NCDC, unlike the larger CARDS set (DSI-6305).
• Limited spatial coverage with data from only 2 reporting stations.
• Data is temporally stale, with the last update in 1990.
