Gelman's NMC Northern Hemisphere Stratospheric Analyses, wkly 1976Jul-1977Apr

Satellite radiance information was used to produce a "first guess" of the geopotential height and temperature fields at the 5mb, 2mb, and 0.4mb stratospheric levels, and available rocketsonde data was used to adjust the fields through an objective analysis procedure. The 65x65 polar-stereographic grids cover the Northern Hemisphere and are available weekly (on Wednesdays) from July 1976 through April 1980 for the months of January, April, July, and October.
