	Basic Consolidated dataset (ds111.2) updated through March 1998

The Basic Consolidated Dataset (ds111.2) has been updated with the first
quarter of 1998 data.  You can obtain the listing of the volume serial 
numbers containing the data from the file datasets/ds111.2/MASTER
via anonymous FTP to ncardata.ucar.edu.  Or, use a WWW browser and open 
the URL http://www.ucar.edu/dss/datasets/ds111.2.html.  This file is also 
on the Mass Store under the name /DSS/D/DS1112.  

The data files (all in the /DSS/ directory on the MSS) are:
 Y42482         1998JAN
 Y42483         1998FEB
 Y42484         1998MAR

	High resolution ERA upper air data to arrive at NCAR soon

The ECMWF reanalysis advanced operational initialized upper air analyses
are expected to begin arriving at NCAR within the next few weeks.  
ECMWF is sending five years at a time, so the entire period of record
will not be available until later this summer.  This dataset is similar 
to ds115.1 except that it is in spectral space at T106 (it is essentially 
the reanalysed version of ds111.0).  The dataset reference number 
reserved for this set is ds115.4.
