ERA40 Model Resolution Gridded Upper Air Analysis on Model Levels from ECMWF

Entry ID: NCAR_DS117.2

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA40) is a global atmospheric analysis of many conventional observations and satellite data streams for the period Sept,1957- Aug,2002. There are numerous data products that are separated into dataset series' based on resolution, vertical coordinate reference, and likely research applications. Descriptions of the series organization and direct links to ...
