ECMWF Re-analysis Global High Resolution Surface Analyses, 1979Jan-1993Dec

This dataset contains the high resolution surface grids from the ECMWF 15 year reanalysis project. All of the grids are on a gaussian (N80) grid with an approximate resolution of 1.125 degrees and are archived 4x/day.

More recent reanalyses have been run by ECMWF and are available in the ERA-40 and the ERA-Interim datasets.
