Abstract:
Dataset contains measurements of meteorological parameters including temperature, wind direction, wind speed and relative humidity, cloud coverage, and cloud height. Data were collected at the Punta Arenas Airport (53.01 S, 70.85 W) from SYNOP (surface synoptic observations).
Coverage:
Latitude: -53.010000 * Longitude: -70.850000
Date/Time Start: 2019-04-01T00:00:00 * Date/Time End: 2020-08-31T21:00:00

Comment:
The cloud height means above the ground of the base of the lowest cloud. Its values have following meaning according to WMO code table 1600, cf "https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds463.0/docs/codes.pdf":
0: 0-50m; 1: 50-100m; 2: 100-200m; 3: 200-300m; 4: 300-600m; 5: 600-1000m; 6: 1000-1500m; 7: 1500-2000m; 8: 2000-2500m; 9: >2500m or no cloud.
