Sep 16, 2008 1 #2 IRstuff Aerospace Jun 3, 2002 44,345 4 38 US To do what? Since you're posting in a military engineering forum, the most obvious choice is MIL-HDBK-310. Somewhere, related to NOAA, I think, was a database with weather station data from all over the world. TTFN FAQ731-376 Upvote 0 Downvote

Sep 17, 2008 1 Thread starter #3 mauner Mechanical Sep 16, 2003 67 0 0 US Thanks IRstuff, My task is to evaluate heat load on air conditioning unit. MIL-HDBK-310 is good but I'm not sure I understand what is the normal weather conditions for various months of the year. Does the 1% value correspond to 3.65 days in the year and the 20% to 73 days in the year? What two month period is the worst for highest humidity/temperature in the Persian Gulf region?

But I did find some temperature data at http://www.rimfrost.no/I was a little concerned because some of the locations were missing alot of data. mauner Upvote 0 Downvote

Sep 18, 2008 #8 IRstuff Aerospace Jun 3, 2002 44,345 4 38 US This is the full up station list. ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/inventories/ISH-HISTORY.TXT I don't see your particular location on the list, so you'll probably need to find the next closest one. the station number is entered here: http://www7.ncdc.noaa.gov/CDO/cdoselect.cmd?datasetabbv=GSOD&countryabbv=&georegionabbv= This http://www7.ncdc.noaa.gov/CDO/cdosubqueryrouter.cmd allows you select from the pulldown menu while RH is not explicitly stated, the dew point is, and dew point and temperature can be related back to RH, I think... Abu Dhabi, being in the Gulf itself, shows pretty high dewpoints, indicative of relatively high RH. TTFN FAQ731-376 Upvote 0 Downvote

Sep 18, 2008 #9 IRstuff Aerospace Jun 3, 2002 44,345 4 38 US I think what you need is more like: http://cdo.ncdc.noaa.gov/pls/plclimprod/cdomain.abbrev2idwhich is hourly data, but it looks like you have to pay for it. TTFN FAQ731-376 Upvote 0 Downvote

Oct 2, 2008 Thread starter #11 mauner Mechanical Sep 16, 2003 67 0 0 US The parameter was "in the Persian Gulf". Subsequently, I found a DOD sight that also provides Engineering Weather Data (EWD) free of charge - no account is needed if you have a CAC. 14th Weather Squadron, Strategic Climatic Information Service at: https://notus2.afccc.af.mil/SCISPublic/ I was told about this site when I called the phone number listed in Mil-hdbk-310.
