Aircraft winds were summarized for each month in 5-degree latitude-longitude squares. Monthly-averaged rawinsonde data were then combined with these summarized aircraft winds in manual analyses of streamlines and isotachs. This dataset's 2.5-degree grids of wind speed and direction were digitized from the manual analyses. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset ASCII Binary dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral AIRCRAFT FIXED OBSERVATION STATIONS > FIXED OBSERVATION STATIONS GROUND STATIONS > GROUND STATIONS METEOROLOGICAL STATIONS > METEOROLOGICAL STATIONS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms RAWINSONDES > RAWINSONDES U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Instruments EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > UPPER LEVEL WINDS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 1960-01 1973-12 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 1.114 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d208000/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d208000/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
