ERA-40 Global Upper Air Radiosonde Observation Feedback Record Reports
ERA-40 Global Upper Air Radiosonde Observation Feedback Record Reports include 6 hourly upper air radiosonde observation (RAOB)
feedback record reports from RAOBs used in the ECMWF 45-year reanalysis (ERA-40)
covering the period from September 1957 to August 2002. RAOBs, from multiple data
sources, were assimilated into an ECMWF model and produced ERA-40. Select variables found in the reports include temperature, pressure, height, relative humidity, specific humidity, U-wind, and V-wind speed components. Data may be available at mandatory or significant levels from 1000mb to 1mb. The metadata generated
during the ERA-40 quality control (QC)/data assimilation process were appended to the input observations.
The final combination of input observations and feedback metadata are called feedback record reports.
We are allowed to distribute this data to US scientists, scientists visiting US organizations, and Canadian scientists affiliated with UCAR member organizations only.
USAGE:
This data must not be used for commercial purposes. ECMWF must be given credit in any publications in which this data is used.
