Name of product or service:
Global Summary of the Day
Type of change:
Name of product and service will change
Description:
The NCEI will change the name of the Global Summary of the Day product to Synoptic Summary of the Day. The product will be available through the Common Access User Interface and GIS systems. The bulk download location will be renamed.
The change is intended to help clarify the difference between the GHCNd product and GSOD product. For non-US stations GSOD or now SSOD reflect the fact that it is built from synoptic reports (currently from ISD but soon from GHCNh) and linked to a UTC calendar day rather than to local time and a climatological day defined by the various met services.
Synoptic Summary of the Data
- The web application access will be updated in Common Access
- The GIS layer for Global Summary of the Day stations will be replaced by the Synoptic Summary of the Day layer https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/maps/daily/
- SSOD bulk download will be available https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/synoptic-summary-of-the-day/
The planned services change date is August 31, 2023. To file an appeal, please contact Rich.Baldwin@noaa.gov by June 1, 2023.
