Cape Kennedy Tower Data
Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information
About this dataset
Digitized data taken from original weather observations taken at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station, Florida. Elements recorded are wind speed and direction, wind speed minimum, mean, and maximum, temperature, delta temperature between levels, pressure, radiation, dew point, precipitation, stability index and precipitable water, and vertical winds. Observations were taken simultaneously at nine levels, using instrumentation mounted on two towers: Tower 1 (18m tall): 3m, 10m, 18m Tower 2 (150m tall): 18m, 30m, 60m, 90m, 120m, 150m
