Daily Northern Hemisphere 47x51 Forecast Grids, sporadically between November 1967 and December 1971

Entry ID: NCAR_DS062.0

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This dataset contains various daily NMC forecast grids on a 47x51 Northern Hemisphere polar-stereographic grid centered on the North Pole. Grids on various tropospheric levels and layers contain parameters which include geopotential height, temperature, wind, surface and sea-level pressure, vertical motion, and stream functions, and they are available for sporadic periods between November 1967 and December 1971.
