Weather observations taken at the National Weather Service stations at Kinston Airport (ICAO code KISO) and Fayetteville Airport (KFAY), North Carolina. These data were keyed from images of the original Surface Airways Observation forms by students at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington as part of a class project. The data on the observation forms were keyed as recorded on the form.
