NMC B3 Operational Model 47 by 51 Northern Hemisphere Tropospheric Analyses, daily 1959-1972

This dataset contains daily gridded Northern Hemisphere analyses from NMC's operational model on a 47 by 51 polar-stereographic grid centered on the North Pole. Available parameters include geopotential height, temperature, stream functions, thickness, and vertical velocity for various levels and layers through the troposphere. In general, the grids cover the period from January 1959 to December 1972, but periods for individual parameters will vary.
