• Identify past field programs for which central collections of sounding data do not exist.
• Track down existing holdings of sounding data for those field programs, to the extent they exist, at centers, laboratories, and universities.
• Extract sounding data that are found from old storage media (i.e., 9-track tapes, printouts, etc.), and place into a consistent, common digital format.
• Carry out standard quality control of the sounding data including objective gross limit and vertical consistency checks.
• Prepare a catalog and a central, publicly accessible archive of the sounding data (probably at NCAR and/or NCDC).

• Promoting Education and Outreach on Behalf of NOAA and the University
• Data Distribution
