Eight Mesh Surface Temperature Analysis from USAF Combat Climatology Center (AFCCC)
Entry ID:
USAFETAC_ANLST
Summary
Abstract:
Consists of analyses of surface temperatures (in degrees Kelvin to
tenths) on a 512 X 512 subset of the eighth mesh grid. It is produced eight times daily on each synoptic hour. Analyses serve as background data for comparison with new satellite data to locate relatively cold areas that represent clouds. Analyses use latest surface observations and synoptic reports updated every 3 hours for land areas and every 12 hours (or more) for ocean areas. Temperatures represent ambient air temperatures over land and sea surface temperatures over the ocean. Elements reported are: Surface Temperature Geographic Coverage
