Met Office Hadley Centre Mean Sea Level Pressure Dataset

The Met Office Hadley Centre's mean sea level pressure (MSLP) data set, HadSLP2, is a unique combination of monthly globally-complete fields of land and marine pressure observations on a 5 degree latitude-longitude grid from 1850 to 2004. This product is also available in an updated form using NCEP/NCAR reanalysis fields, giving the near real time product, HadSLP2r.

The HadSLP2 data are available both on NCAR MSS and online download. For more details, recommendation for data reference citation, and request for registration by the authors please see the HadSLP2 web page.
