NCEP/NCAR Global Reanalysis 8-day Forecast Products
|
|
This data set contains forecast products from the
NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis Project. The resolution of the
Reanalysis Forecast Model is T62 (209 km) with 28
vertical sigma levels. Every five days, beginning
with 00Z 01 January, an 8 day forecast run is made.
The initial time and outputs for every 12 hours are
saved from this run.
Pressure level and special level data are archived on
the 2.5x2.5 latitude-longitude grid and flux fields
are archived on the 192x94 Gaussian grid. Details
on variables included are available elsewhere.
Some special periods will be analyzed more than once
to provide data for special research studies. For
example, a special NOSAT run of 1979 was made excluding
most satellite inputs. This run could be used for
evaluating the impact of satellite data on the
forecasts.
See DS090.0for analysis and first guess fields.
All data files of 1948-2005OCT are available as of 2005DEC29.
