Title

U.K. Northern Hemisphere Sea-Level Pressure and 500mb Height Grids for 1944Dec to 1946Dec

Alternative title(s)

Abstract

This dataset contains gridded Northern Hemisphere sea-level pressure and 500mb geopotential height data from the United Kingdom. The DSS has converted the original daily 10-degree by 5-degree sea-level pressure grids to a 5-degree by 5-degree grid, interpolating data to non-original gridpoints and computing monthly grids. The period covered is December 1944 to December 1946. The daily 500mb geopotential height grids cover the period from January 1945 to December 1946 on a 10-degree by 5-degree grid.
