CAC Monthly Global Analyses for October 1978 to September 1994
This dataset contains monthly means of several meteorological
variables, their squares, and their cross-products for nine
levels in the atmosphere. These mean grids were prepared by
the Climate Analysis Center (CAC) from NMC daily analyses. The
grid is a 2.5 degree grid (145x37) for each hemisphere, so that
data are available globally.
