Abstract:

Winter seasonal circulation statistics for the Northern Hemisphere were derived from NMC analyses by Ngar-Cheung (Gabriel) Lau. Grids are available at various tropospheric levels between 1000 and 100 millibars. The period of record is 1965 to 1976, with each winter consisting of the 120 days beginning November 15.

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.
