ERA40 Model Resolution Gridded Upper Air Analysis on Isentropic Surfaces from ECMWF

The ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA40) is a global atmospheric analysis of many conventional observations and satellite data streams for the period Sept,1957- Aug,2002. There are numerous data products that are separated into dataset series' based on resolution, vertical coordinate reference, and likely research applications. Descriptions of the series organization and direct links to information about all ERA40 products are available.

This dataset contains 7 variables on 15 isentropic surfaces. Some of the variables are on a T159 spherical harmonics grid and some are on the N80 reduced gaussian grid. All variables are output 4x a day for the entire period.
