Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
Marine surface and upper air observations recovered from microfilm copies of cards at NCDC.
Description
In the 1960s and 1970s, NCDC stored images of selected 80-character punched card decks on microfilm (16mm) using a device known as FOSDIC (Film Optical Sensing Device for Input to Computer). FOSDIC was also used to recall the images back to digital records.
