AVAILABILITY OF METEOROLOGICAL DATA IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

Abstract

During the late summer seasons of 1962 and 1963 the author traveled to Southeast Asia as a consultant for the U. S. Army and as a representative of Colorado State University. The purpose of these trips was three-fold: (1) to survey and collect meteorological data; (2) to consult with various operational groups concerning meteorological problems; and (3) to work with various national weather services concerning data and research. A fairly comprehensive data survey was obtained during these two trips to Southeast Asia. Information was compiled from three sources: (1) personal communication with personnel associated with the various national weather services of Southeast Asia; (2) personal communication and correspondence with the National Weather Records Center at Asheville, North Carolina; (3) information from Clyde O'Dell, who visited Southeast Asia in 1967. Primarily, the survey indicates what type of meteorological data are available within the respective countries of Southeast Asia, and what are available in the United States.
