Revised Uniform Standard Summary Weather Observations (RUSSWO)
Revised Uniform Standard Summary Weather Observations (RUSSWO) is a series of historical manuscripts archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The original tabulations of (RUSSWO) are archived on microfiche by the NCDC. Data are prepared primarily for current and former U.S. military installations and represents unpublished monthly and annual tabulations. Periods of record are varied and updates will be accomplished on a 5 year cycle in most cases. Data contents are as follows: Part A - Monthly and annual summaries on percentage frequency of occurrence of weather conditions and percentage of days with various atmospheric phenomena. Part B - Summaries of percentage frequency of daily precipitation, extreme 24-hour amounts of precipitation in inches and these same type of summaries for snowfall and snow depth. Part C - Monthly, annual, and 3-hourly summaries by month of surface winds. Part D - Monthly and annual summaries and 3-hourly summaries by month of ceiling versus visibility and sky cover. Part E - Cumulative percentage of frequency of occurrence of daily maximum, minimum, and mean temperatures, extreme values of maximum and minimum temperatures, monthly and annual psychrometric summaries and 3-hourly psychrometric summaries by month of temperature versus wet-bulb temperature depression, monthly and annual cumulative percentage frequency of occurrence of relative humidity and means and standard deviations of dry-bulb, wet-bulb, and dew-point temperatures. Part F - Means and standard deviations of station pressure in inches of mercury and millibars.
