Abstract:
This dataset contains monthly means of several meteorological variables, their squares, and their cross-products for nine levels in the atmosphere. These mean grids were prepared by the Climate Analysis Center (CAC) from NMC daily analyses. The grid is a 2.5 degree grid (145 by 37) for each hemisphere, so that data are available globally.
Temporal Range:
1978-10 to 1994-09
Variables:
| Geopotential Height | Humidity | Sea Level Pressure | Upper Air Temperature |
| Upper Level Winds | Vertical Wind Velocity/Speed | Vorticity |
Vertical Levels:
| 1000 mbar | 850 mbar | 700 mbar | 500 mbar |
| 300 mbar | 250 mbar | 200 mbar | 100 mbar |
| 50 mbar |
Temporal Frequencies:
Every month (Mean)

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.
