ERA40 Model Resolution Gridded Upper Air Forecast Fields on Model Levels from ECMWF

Entry ID: NCAR_DS121.2

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This dataset contains 9 variables on the original 60 model levels, as well as surface geopotential and log of surface pressure. All Variables are from the forecast cycle of the ERA-40 model and are archived at T159 spectral resolution in spherical harmonics or the reduced n80 gaussian grid with a resolution of approximately 125 ...
