Abstract:

These daily sea-level pressure analyses were received from Steve Pazan of the U.S. Navy Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC). The 63 by 63 polar-stereographic grid covers the Northern Hemisphere and is centered on the North Pole. The analyses span the period from January 1946 to December 1978.

Information from hardcopy notes indicates that these analyses were "reworked" by FNOC and were confirmed to be better over the oceans than the raw analyses. No checks were made for values over land.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
