NMC B-3 Daily Northern Hemisphere Analyses for 1963 August to 1972 December

Entry ID: NCAR_DS063.0

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: NMC operationally produced these daily gridded Northern Hemisphere analyses of various tropospheric levels for the period August 1963 to December 1972. Parameters include upper-level winds, surface temperature, sea-level pressure, tropopause pressure and temperature, and 500mb relative humidity on a 47x51 polar-stereographic grid centered on the North Pole.
