ERA40 Monthly Mean Model Resolution Gridded Upper Air Analysis on Pressure 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 monthly means for 9 variables on 23 pressure surfaces at T159 spectral resolution in spherical harmonics. Monthly means have been computed for each analysis hour as well as a daily mean.
