Summary
Abstract: Brazil Upper Air is historical digital data set DSI-6324, archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). This is meteorological upper air data. This is a historical data set of upper air data for 1951-81 from Brazil. DSI-6324 was included in the larger Comprehensive Aerological Data Set (CARDS) Upper Air data set, DSI-6305, which was quality controlled as it was assembled from many smaller data sets. DSI-6324 itself was not quality controlled at the NCDC. Most users should not request DSI-6324, but should instead opt for DSI-6305. Major parameters in upper air data sets are: pressure, temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed and direction.

Purpose: To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public.

Use Constraints Most of the lines representing aquifer boundaries in this data set
were extracted from digital geology data sets by Cederstrand (1996a,
1996b) based on a scale of 1:250,000. Some of the lines were
interpolated where the Antlers aquifer is overlain by alluvial and
terrace deposits near streams and rivers and are similar to the
aquifer boundaries on maps in Morton (1992). Aquifer boundaries
represented at this scale are indicative of broad, regional trends and
should not be interpreted as site specific.
