Summary
Abstract: The POLES Arctic Gridded 2-meter Air Temperature Data Set provides
optimally interpolated 2-meter air temperatures on the EASE (Equal
Area SSM/I Earth) grid. 12-hourly "beta" fields have been analyzed
from 1979 through 1997. The format of these files is as follows:
grid point #, day * 10, AirT *100, then 4 flags that we have been
using to check the dataset. The coordinates corresponding to each
