TL;DR: The Twentieth Century Reanalysis (20CR) dataset as discussed by the authors provides the first estimates of global tropospheric variability, and of the dataset's time-varying quality, from 1871 to the present at 6-hourly temporal and 2° spatial resolutions.

TL;DR: The 20CRv2c dataset as mentioned in this paper is the first ensemble of sub-daily global atmospheric conditions spanning over 100 years, which provides a best estimate of the weather at any given place and time as well as an estimate of its confidence and uncertainty.

TL;DR: The International Surface Pressure Databank (ISPD) as mentioned in this paper is the largest collection of global surface and sea-level pressure observations and has been used for various general climate and weather studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a high-level overview of land-based meteorological data and their management and curation, based upon broad community input, and provide a set of data holdings, of known provenance, that is integrated both across essential climate variables and across time scales to meet the broad range of stakeholder needs.

TL;DR: A survey of meteorological and climate data rescue projects can be found in this article, where the authors argue that meteorological data rescue must be seen as a continuous, coordinated long-term effort.
