Description:A data base containing all known upper-air reports for North America has been created at the Forecast Systems Laboratory (FSL). Rawinsonde data acquired from various sources for the period from 1946 to the present were subjected to gross error and hydrostatic consistency checks. The data base was created for two reasons: to satisfy a requirement to support ongoing case studies and climatological research with a conveniently accessible data base located at FSL, and to include data not contained in the data base residing at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). This Technical Memorandum describes the creation of the FSL data base and the quality control procedures used. It also includes the methods used to replace parts of the soundings that are missing from the NCDC data, a description of the data access routine, real-time updates to the data base, and station history and inventory information.
