Global Weather Sensor Dataset

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has recently published their database to address a pressing need for an integrated global database of hourly land surface climatological data. The database is quickly becoming one of the biggest weather dataset which contains approximately 350 gigabytes for over 20.000 weather sensor stations over the world, with observation data from as early as 1900 to present. In this article, we will describe how NOAA dataset can be transformed and published as linked data (Linked NOAA dataset with over 177 billion triples), with the target of making these data publicly accessible and linkable with other linked data sources, by applying Linked Data principles, accessing and processing methods.
