[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set consists of Northern Hemisphere monthly zonal mean
geopotential heights and temperature. Gridded data are available from
10N to 90N at 10x10 degrees at 100 hPa, 50 hPa, 30 hPa, and 10 hPa.

Muench and Borden (1962) had analyzed monthly mean stratospheric
charts from 1955-1959. From these data, B. Naujokat extrapolated the
30-hPa North Pole ...
