Gelman's CAC Global Analyses, September 1978 to February 1998
|
|
This dataset contains global once-daily and monthly-mean
gridded analyses for September 1978 to February 1998, which were
produced by NMC's operational models. At mandatory levels from
1000mb up to 0.4mb, grids contain geopotential height and
temperature. At the tropopause, grids contain pressure and
temperature. Also included are total column ozone and upward
flux of longwave radiation.
The grid is a 65x65 polar-stereographic grid, centered on the
Pole (North or South). Global coverage is provided by combining
two grids, one for the Northern Hemisphere and one for the
Southern Hemisphere.
The Flattery analysis method was used through 26 July 1984,
so the usefulness of grids in that period is suspect. After
that time, the analysis method used was the same as for other
NMC global archives.
