Description:

Abstract:

This dataset contains upper air grids from the ECMWF 15 year Reanalysis Project. All grids are on a 2.5 degree latitude- longitude grid and are archived 4x/day. More recent reanalyses have been run by ECMWF and are available in the ERA-40 [http://dss.ucar.edu/pub/era40] and the ERA-Interim [http://dss.ucar.edu/datasets/ds627.0] datasets.
