Getting hold of NOAA landstation historical datasets

[phil123_123]

Hello,

 

First off apologies if I am unintentionally breaking some forum rules- this is my first post here, so I may not be fully versed on all the details of this forum's etiquette.

 

I have spent a fair amount of time trying to get hold of a list of NOAA historical weather station readings from when the station first went live to now, to no avail. It is for the following station:

 

 

WMO Index Number: 84628 ICAO Location Indicator: SPIM Station Name: Lima-Callao / Aerop. Internacional Jorgechavez Country: Peru WMO Region: 3 Station Position: 12-00S    077-07W (dms) Station Elevation (H_a): 12 Meters Upper Air Position: 12-01S    077-02W (dms) Upper Air Elevation (H_p): 13 Meters

 

 

All I seem to be able to get hold of is the following yearly summarie and recent data:

ftp://ftp.atdd.noaa.gov/pub/GCOS/WMO-Normals/RA-III/PR/84628.TXT

http://weather.gladstonefamily.net/site/SPIM?days=364#Data

 

I couldn't seem to get data from NOAA's NOWdata service despite double checking with the FAQ's:

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/csd/info/NOWdata/FAQ.php

 

I have spent a lot of time going in circles (and being driven mad!) on the NOAA website, using google filetype:.txt searches and so am only asking for your help having tried my upmost up to this point.

 

I am pretty sure the data is available as I downloading a 60 or so page text file for a station in Zambia 2 years ago for a different project - I remember a dropdown menu for country and station that then loaded all historical data with each set of readings at a particular time on each line (for wetbulb, drybulb, wind speed, precipitation etc.). Rather stupidly I have long lost the bookmark for this :-(

 

To cut a long story short I would really appreciate any help getting hold of this data or pointers where to look/who to ask.

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Philippe

Did you try here:

Same here  ! Thanks Ohleary- I tried that link but barometric pressure does not seem to be on the data set available.

 

I am looking for hourly barometric recordings beginning 2 /20 /15 for a location in Virginia. (Sterling NWS office would do)  but can't seem to find a way to access that info (if it exists). Does anyone know how to get this information?

 

Couple more questions:

1. Can anyone recommend an accurate digital barometer where we could record and download hourly measurements over a matter of weeks? 
2. I have a Lacrosse Tech 2812 unit.  Is the barometer in that confounded thing accurate?

thanks,
