Especially in the earlier NCEP decode files it is not easy to identify the Russian polar stations. Raobs were pulled from the NCEP archives for all stations that might be Russian Polar stations. The earliest data is from 1962 and the data is very sparse (once every few weeks) until the mid seventies and especially 1978 when data is more complete. Until May 1979, the Russian polar data does not have a unique ID in the NCEP decode files. It is also noted that the NCEP files occasionally appear to have incorrect locations on the observations, usually a hemisphere swap (E-W). Due to the sparseness of the data and the difficulty in identifying the stations, only manual spot checks were made. Comparison files were made and merged together based on time of ob. These were then manually inspected. No station before station 10 could be compared. Stations 10, 12, 13, and 14 all compared favorably except that the time assigned from the NCEP decode files was always 3 hours later than the time in the Russian archive. The NCEP times tend to be 03 and 15Z and Russian times tend to be around 00 and 12. Since this is well after the date when official ob times were switched to 00 and 12 it seems likely the Russian times are correct. No evidence of improper merging of sound parts was found. There was a gap in polar data from the NCEP files in the mid 60s and no data was available for comparing stations 15, 16, and 17. Stations 21, 22, 26, 28, 30, and 31 showed good time agreement and good data compares. No evidence of improper merging of sounding parts was found.\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n repository\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235.
