NMC B-3 Operational Model 47x51 Northern Hemisphere Tropospheric Analyses, daily 1959-1972

This dataset contains daily gridded Northern Hemisphere analyses from NMC's operational model on a 47x51 polar-stereographic grid centered on the North Pole. Available parameters include geopotential height, temperature, stream functions, thickness, and vertical velocity for various levels and layers through the troposphere. In general, the grids cover the period from January 1959 to December 1972, but periods for individual parameters will vary.
