Surface Observation -Climatic Summaries for Cannon AFB, New Mexico.

Abstract

Surface observation climatic summaries (SOCS) provide statistical climatic summaries of surface weather observations taken and recorded at specified USAF, civilian and foreign observing stations. Hourly observations are summarized from a 10-year period of record (POR). Summary of Day (SOD) information is summarized from all available data in the OL-A, USAFETAC climatic database. The surface observation climatic summaries (SOCS) replaced two other USAFETAC products of long standing: The RUSSWO(Revised Uniform Summary of Surface Observations) and LISOCS(Limited Surface Observation Climatic Summary). The SOCS(Like its Predecessors) is prepared by USAFETAC'S operating location a at Asheville, NC 28801-2723. Here, climatologists use state-of-the-art computer technology to summarize weather observations collected from selected military, civilian, and foreign reporting stations. Summaries are prepared from data that has been collected, quality-controlled, and stored in OL-A's wordwide surface weather observation database. Subject Terms: Climatology, Meteorological Data, Atmospheric Phenomena, Weather, SOCS, Cannon AFB, New Mexico, Ceiling, Cloud Cover, Snow Depth, Humidity, Pressure, Precipitation, Snow Temperature, Visibility, Wind.
