Chellia's CAC Global Tropospheric Climate Diagnostics, 1979-1988
This dataset contains longterm means of geopotential height,
temperature, and wind for the troposphere from 1000mb up to
100mb. Means are computed for the period from 1979 to 1988 and
are stored on a global latitude/longitude grid with a resolution
of 2.5 degrees.
