Northern Hemisphere Surface Pressure and Precipitation Grids from the U.S.S.R.

This data set contains Northern Hemisphere surface pressure and precipitation data prepared by the U.S.S.R. The surface pressure grids include average monthly pressures for 1873-1981 and climatological normals by month for 1873-1973 and 1931-1960. Precipitation grids include percentages of normal for all Januarys and all Julys for 1891-1979.

DSS has created a GRIB version of this set for users who prefer the GRIB format.
