Introduction
TMD (Thai Meteorological Department) have been carried out operational weather observation at 80 normal sites and 30+ AGROMET stations. Followings are datasets derived from their measurement. All datasets are protected by password

| Notes |
- Currently only rainfall datasets are opened to public
- Letters 'D', '3H', '1H' in the 'contents' cell denote that daily, 3-hourly and 1-hourly data files are available for that item, respectively.
- In 3-hourly datasets, data at 0100LST means total value from 2200LST in previous day to 0100 in current day. 0400LST data is accumulated amount between 0100-0400LST and so on
- Daily rainfall data is defined as the total sum of 0700LST to 0700LST in next day (TMD definition)

Data Archive
Location is based on the files which was given by TMD at June, 2001. Elevation and height of sensors are taken from TMD list of 1998 version. Other data are based on the contents on the list which TMD gave us. If there is some mismatch between them, diferrent position is written in right column. 'Pilot Station' seems to be moved.
Please note that the DB manager do not have completely all the data
Please consult the DB manager about the user ID and password required to see data pages.
