This historical dataset is recommended for ancillary use only and not as a primary research dataset. It has likely been superseded by a newer, improved dataset.
Abstract:
This dataset contains various daily NMC forecast grids on a 47 by 51 Northern Hemisphere polar-stereographic grid centered on the North Pole. Grids on various tropospheric levels and layers contain parameters which include geopotential height, temperature, wind, surface and sea-level pressure, vertical motion, and stream functions, and they are available for sporadic periods between November 1967 and December 1971.
Temporal Range:
1967-11-30 12:00 +0000 to 1972-01-04 00:00 +0000
Variables:
| Geopotential Height | Humidity | Hydrostatic Pressure | Potential Temperature |
| Pressure Thickness | Sea Level Pressure | Streamfunctions | Surface Pressure |
| Total Precipitable Water | Tropopause | Upper Air Temperature | Upper Level Winds |
| Vertical Wind Velocity/Speed | Vorticity | Wind Shear |

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.
