ECMWF Re-analysis 2.5 degree Monthly Means

Entry ID: NCAR_DS115.7

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This dataset contains monthly mean data from the ECMWF reanalysis project. The grid are all 2.5 degree latitude-longitude grids. There are separate monthly means for each hour (00,06,12 and 18) as well as a daily mean. More recent reanalyses have been run by ECMWF and are available in the ERA-40 [http://dss.ucar.edu/pub/era40] and the ERA-Interim [http://dss.ucar.edu/datasets/ds627.0] datasets.
