Summary

Abstract: The NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis project is using a state-of-the-art
analysis/forecast system to perform data assimilation using past data
from 1948 to the present. A large subset of this data is available
from CDC in its original 4 times daily format and as daily averages.
However, the data from 1948-1957 is a little different, in ...

Purpose: Scientific research.
