The collection includes thousands of these Adiabatic Charts, with the physical archive collection beginning primarily in the 1930s and ending in the mid 1990s and represents stations located throughout the world. The major parameters presented are pressure (Mb), height of pressure level, temperature (degrees C), dew point depression (degrees C), wind direction, and wind speed (knots). In the mid-1970s, the plotting of adiabatic charts was transitioned from paper forms to digital records. Many of the records in the latter part of the collection are computer printouts rather than the historical analog forms of the early 20th century. The bulk of this collection is available only on microfilm.\n \n \n Adiabatic Charts are useful in understanding the movement of air in the atmosphere and its effect on precipitation.\n \n \n historicalArchive\n \n \n \n \n NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information\n \n \n Customer Engagement Branch\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 1-828-271-4800\n \n \n 1-828-271-4876\n \n \n \n \n \n \n 151 Patton Avenue\n \n \n Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468\n \n \n Asheville\n \n \n NC\n \n \n 28801-5001\n \n \n USA\n \n \n ncei.orders@noaa.gov\n \n \n \n \n \n \n https://www.ncei.noaa.gov\n \n \n HTTPS\n \n \n Web Browser\n \n \n NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)\n \n \n NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information.\n \n \n information\n \n \n \n \n 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern\n \n \n \n \n pointOfContact\n \n \n \n \n \n \n notPlanned\n \n \n \n \n \n \n https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/C00171_WBAN31.jpg\n \n \n Sample Record\n \n \n JPEG\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Barometric Altitude\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Planetary Boundary Layer Height\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Tropopause\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Altitude > Station Height\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Weather Events > Rain Storms\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Planetary Boundary Layer Height\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Pressure Thickness\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Surface Pressure\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Atmospheric Pressure Measurements\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature > Air Temperature\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Upper Air Temperature > Boundary Layer Temperature\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature > Boundary Layer Temperature\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Upper Air Temperature > Vertical Profiles > Inversion Height\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Upper Air Temperature\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Atmospheric Stability\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Upper Level Winds\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Surface Winds\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Wind Profiles\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Upper Level Winds > Flight Level Winds\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Boundary Layer Winds\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Wind Dynamics > Convection\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds > Wind Dynamics > Wind Shear\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Indicators > Total Precipitable Water\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Indicators > Humidity\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor > Water Vapor Profiles\n \n \n Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Temperature > Surface Temperature > Dew Point Temperature\n \n \n theme\n \n \n \n \n Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords\n \n \n \n \n 2018\n \n \n revision\n \n \n \n \n Version 8.6\n \n \n \n \n Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords\n \n \n HTTPS\n \n \n Web Browser\n \n \n Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords\n \n \n The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
