Title
2011- Ongoing Met Office Autonomous Marine Observing System (AMOS) Meteorological Observations
Abstract
Meteorological observations originating from Met Office built ship-borne autonomous marine observing systems, produced hourly from any given position on the ship's track/route for weather forecasting as part of the long term climatological record. Coverage is global but predominantly in UK waters. Measurements include mean sea level pressure, air temperature and humidity (with capabilities for sea surface temperature (SST) and wind speed, wind direction and max gust speed from a limited number of systems). On occasion there may be gaps in the dataset.

Quality and validity
Lineage
Data is collected automatically on an hourly basis using calibrated meteorological instruments which are baseline checked and maintained on a routine basis. Data quality is considered, monitored, compared against background fields and addressed in near real-time throughout its entire life cycle, with suspect data being flagged both automatically and by manual input. Regular, scheduled inspections take place, checking the accuracy of instruments as well as logger software and data formats.
