ERA40 2.5 Degree Latitude-Longitude Gridded Surface and Single Level Analysis from ECMWF

Entry ID: NCAR_DS118.0

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This dataset contains 56 surface and single level variables on an equally spaced global 2.5 degree latitude-longitude grid. All variables are reported 4x a day. 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 ...
