ECMWF TOGA Global Tropospheric Analyses, monthly 1985jan-con (DSS built)

These are year-month means on 2.5 degree grids derived from DS111.2, by DSS. Both surface and upper air. Bad grids found by Kevin Trenberth in TN-373 are excluded.

ECMWF now has a description of its operational model and its evolution online.
