NCEP Stratospheric Analyses, daily 1997May-2008Nov

The Global Stratospheric Analyses are provided on a pair of 65x65 polar grids, daily at 12Z. These were operationally prepared by NCEP, using ATOVS data, which involves several sensors, including the AMSU.

The analyses are available on 8 mandatory levels from 70 to 0.4 mb. Parameters include pressure, geopotential height, and temperature.
