ERA40 Model Resolution Gridded Chemical Transport Modelling Fields on Model Levels from ECMWF

Entry ID: NCAR_DS117.5

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This dataset contains 4 variables on the original 60 hybrid model levels on the reduced N80 Gaussian grid. The data are accumulated over the 3 and 6 hour forecasts for the 00, 06, 12 and 18 UTC analyses. The ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA40) is a global atmospheric analysis of many conventional observations and satellite data streams for the period Sept,1957- Aug,2002. There are numerous data ...
