U.S. Navy FNOC Northern Hemisphere Surface Analyses, daily 1969Sep-1993Dec
|
|
Fleet Numerical Oceanographic Center in Monterey California
prepares many analyses, from which we receive this surface
subset on a 63x63 grid. It includes sea surface temperature,
air surface temperature, surface vapor pressure, 19.5m surface
winds, and sea level pressure.
Unless you have a special interest in this dataset, DSS recommends that you
use one of our reanalysis datasets, such as ds090.0. That's because those are
based on a more complete collection of observations, improved analysis methods,
and are provided in a common modern format (GRIB).
