Abstract

<p>This data set contains Northern Hemisphere surface pressure and precipitation data prepared by the U.S.S.R. The surface pressure grids include average monthly pressures for 1873-1981 and climatological normals by month for 1873-1973 and 1931-1960. Precipitation grids include percentages of normal for all Januarys and all Julys for 1891-1979.</p>
