Global Gridded Spectral Height and Temperature Fields

Alternative title(s)

Abstract

<p>This dataset contains once-daily global gridded geopotential height and temperature at levels from 1000 millibars up to 1 millibar for the period from April 1979 to May 1994. Bill Randel of NCAR interpolated bad and missing data in the grids of <a href="http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds067.1/">ds067.1</a> and stored the new data as zonal Fourier coefficients on an approximate 4.5 degree latitude/longitude grid (consistent with R15 spectral resolution). Further information can be found in NCAR Technical Note 366, which is available from the UCAR publications office at (303) 497-8601.</p>
