NMC 47x51 Northern Hemisphere Stratospheric Analyses, daily 1964-1980

This dataset of daily gridded analyzed geopotential height and temperature for the Northern Hemisphere stratosphere covers the period from January 1946 to December 1980. The 47x51 polar-stereographic grids, centered on the North Pole, were produced by NMC's operational model.

For data beyond 1980, see ds067.0, which provides global coverage of the stratosphere on a pair of 63x63 polar-stereographic grids centered on each Pole.
